Using Public Access for Planning
By using the links to Public Access for Planning, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to the terms and conditions.
We have recently transitioned to our new Public Register and improved case management system.
We are still in the process of getting the Planning and Building Control register up to date in particular any applications acknowledged, decided, any comments made and other adhoc changes to cases between 6 June and 6 July we are in the process of manually updating.
As cases acknowledged between these timescales may not be able available on the new Public Register and any decision issues may not be available, so you will need to also check the case on this current register to view the information and documents. In addition we are no longer able to accept comments through this Public Register so if the application is not available on the new Public Register to be able to comment then please email your comments.
Apologies for any inconvenience and if you have any questions or comments please email planning@bromley.gov.uk.
Thank you for your understanding whilst we upgrade and improve our systems.
Please see our frequently asked questions for further guidance.
How do I search for an application?
- When searching for planning application references for applications ensure you are looking at the correct website for applications validated before 6 June 2025, ensure you include the suffix in the reference you enter e. 25/00001/FULL5 rather than 25/00001 and do not prefix the reference with DC/.
- For applications made valid on or after 5 June 2025 please follow the Register View link.
- If you can't find what you're looking for then use the advanced search tool to locate decisions made within a specified period of time. The less refined your search, the broader the search results.
- Search results when searching across all categories, are presented/grouped by category in category alphabetical order. If you know you are looking for a planning application, refine you search by pre-selecting a category before you search.
- Address Searching: Applications are recorded as per the address at the time of the planning application. Therefore, if the location/address of interest has been changed over time, you will not get the full history of the site using the most recent address.

If an application was determined under Delegated Authority the delegated report will be available to view within the documents listed in the online application file.
If the application was determined by a planning committee you can identify the date of the relevant committee by going into the individual online application file, selecting the important dates tab where the actual committee date is listed. Once you know the date of the meeting you can view the full agenda for that meeting by selecting the appropriate date.
