About Planning Online
On Planning Online you can:-
Search for Planning Applications and Appeals submitted to Birmingham City Council since 1948. Please note that records prior to 1990 may be less detail.
Comment on applications awaiting decision.
Produce Weekly Lists of received and determined applications.
View associated documents, decision notices, plans and drawings on applications received from January 2006.
Monitor the progress of an application or appeal.
Planning Online is continuously updated throughout the day. Application and appeal details will only be made available online once we have checked that all information needed to accept the application is complete. Accompanying documents are also updated daily but will be available 1 day after the application or appeal has been accepted.
Availability and Accessibility
- Planning Online is unavailable between 17.45 and 18.15 every Monday evening when we maintain our planning database. Any unplanned downtime will be drawn to your attention above.
Please note Planning Online will not function correctly if you have activated the 'block cookie' feature on your web browser. We recommend that you allow cookies from this site to avoid any technical problems.
If you have a visual impairment or any other disability that prevents you from viewing documents online please contact Planning Direct. We will make arrangements for one of our officers to discuss the application and answer any questions you may have, by other means.
Getting an error message?
- Error messages can occur when a search being carried out returns too many results or when there is a problem accessing a document.
If you are carrying out a search, consider adding more search criteria to refine your search.
If you cannot access a document, contact Planning Direct. We can often fix this problem quickly, but if we cannot we will arrange for a copy of the plans to be sent to you.
What we do with your personal information
- Personal information submitted with a planning application should be contained on a specific form which is not published to the website. Applicant and agent names will appear in the information screens.
If you are submitting supporting information via a letter, this information is published to the website and therefore you might like to ensure phone numbers, signatures, emails addresses and personal information is omitted.
If you make comments on a planning application, we do not currently publish these online, however they are available for inspection by the public and copies provided on request.
Documents published include plans, applications forms and supporting information to ensure those consulted on the planning application have the relevant information to make informed comments.

View Documents
- Documents accompanying a planning application are available to view online. Please note, these are currently only available for applications accepted on or after January 2006.
All documents are available as Adobe PDF's. These can be viewed by downloading the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. We suggest using the latest version. For more information please visit our Guide to Attachments.
Documents are updated every day but will be available to view 1 day after the application has been accepted. If related documents are not available please try the following day.
We try to ensure that all documents are of high quality and that file sizes are kept to a minimum. This will mean that some documents will be displayed as black and white. Some documents are however, quite large and may take some time to download.
Select the document name to open (opens in a new window as a PDF)
You can then use the tools available in Adobe Reader to enlarge, rotate or print if required.
