You will need your Council Tax account and Property Reference number to submit your request. These can be found on your bill. 

We will ask you to supply details about the main property, the annexe, its occupants, and any planning restrictions.

We may need to contact you if we cannot give you a reduction, or if further information is required to process your application.
