The Comhairle Planning Service

On-Line Planning Information

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar Online Planning Information Portal

The Comhairle as a Planning Authority has a statutory requirement to maintain a public register of planning applications. As a new development and to maintain pace with a national initiative to modernise the planning system, valid planning applications received by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar will be scanned and made available on-line for public viewing via the Comhairle’s On-line planning information portal.

Public Access for Planning is our on-line service that allows you to comment on an application on-line, and provides you with details of all planning applications and decisions made by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar since 1999

The publication of planning information on-line aims to make the planning process more transparent, efficient, inclusive and accessible. You can make comments on current applications, view details of all applications and review property details.  All of the information comes directly from the Council’s planning application database, which is updated each working day
