Planning application forms
Which planning application form
The planning application form you need to use depends on the type of application. Visit the Planning Portal website below to find out which application form you need.
Some applications can't be submitted through the portal and will need to be sent to us at development.control@wokingham.gov.uk. See the paper forms section of the Planning Portal website for more information. You will need to pay for these applications via our online payment page.
Ownership and Agricultural Holdings Certificate
These are required to be completed and signed to confirm land ownership. You need to ensure that the correct certificate is signed. If any part of the development would encroach onto neighbouring land or be sited on the shared boundary it will be necessary to sign certificate B and serve notice on the neighbouring land owner. See the agricultural holdings certificate page on the Planning Portal website to find out more.
Description of development
The description of the development must accurately describe what you're proposing. It must include all of the development shown on the plans. For example if an extension is proposed which would require a new raised decking area and this is shown on the plans it must also be in the description.
If the description is found to be wrong this can result in a delay in validating your application. If it is found to be wrong during the process of the application then it may be necessary to re-consult neighbours and interested parties which may delay your application.
