English Local Authorities

Find your local authority. There are 317 local authorities within England. This is made up of 36 Metropolitan districts, 33 London Boroughs, 63 Unitary Authorities, 21 County councils and 164 District Councils. We list just over 370. The difference is that we include local authorities that have merged with others, and also several county councils that act as a planning authority for certain matters, such as minerals and waste or education.

You can use the table below to search for the local one. Further down you will find a clickable map. If you are not sure which local authority you are in, please refer to this page on the government website to search via postcode, then look it up below.

This page will grow into a master list for local authorities and the table expanded. The data may also be used on other pages within Planning Geek

The link for each local authority will go directly to the page where you can search for current and previous planning applications. In addition we have added the email address for each of the local authorities and whether they have CIL and an Article 4 affecting HMOs in the area. Note that other Article 4’s may exist.

Occasionally a local authority might alter their website URL or email address – if you discover any issues, please let us know. The information on this page is correct to the best of our knowledge. Planning Geek cannot be held responsible for any errors. You are advised to check with the local authority if in doubt.

All external links will open in a new tab / window. The CIL and Article 4 elements are expanded in their own sections – CIL and Article 4.

When an authority merges with another, the old records are often available on an older website – we also link those former local authorities. But if that does alter, please let us know.

Would you like any other information added to our database or list of local authorities within England, please let us know. We are here to help! If the info is available, we will see what we can do.

Did you know that Planning Geek submits applications to every local authority mentioned on this page? Get a fee proposal today for your project and let us help with that uncertainty.

Map of local authorities in the UK

This is a clickable map of the local authorities in the UK. This is not our map and we are unable to give credit as we do not know the author sadly. But it might help to identify your local authority. Planning Geek is not responsible for the content.

If you created the map of English local authorities, we would be pleased to give full credit etc.
