Application received
The council checks the application is complete and gives it a reference number.
Consultation
The council tells neighbours and others, usually with a site notice or letters. Anyone can comment, usually within 21 days.
Decision
Most applications are decided by the council's planning officers. Larger or disputed ones go to the planning committee, where councillors decide in public.
After the decision
If permission is refused, the applicant can appeal to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales. Other people can't appeal, but can comment on an appeal.
Only planning matters count in a decision: things like the look of a building, traffic, noise, overlooking, loss of light, and the council's local development plan. A fall in the value of a neighbouring home doesn't count, nor does who the applicant is.

Installation of Rooftop Solar Panels on 1 storey attached outbuilding roof and 2 storey front roof of main dwelling, rear roof has been deemed unsuitable for solar. Both roofs are highway facing but property is built well above above this mitigating visual impact. There is also partial screening by hedging as further mitigation. No public viewpoints overlook the property. Panels to be of all black type to blend with existing synthetic slate roofs and will be removable for when they are no longer required.
