Please note your application can’t be processed until we receive payment.

You can pay using a debit or credit card for all types of application once they have been submitted and you’ve received a Planning Application Reference (e.g. P24/V1234/HH), by calling the Customer Services Team on 01235 422600.

Other payment methods

Cheque: Send your cheque for the appropriate fee made payable to Vale of White Horse District Council to the Planning Department – address at the foot of this page.

BACS: All BACS payments must be clearly labelled with a Planning Application Reference. Please email registration@southandvale.gov.uk confirming a transfer has been made. Failure to do so may result in a delay in validating your application as we will be unable to trace the payment.
