Planning Portal

New statistics have shown that 59,000 planning applications were submitted online from across England and Wales in July.

Data shows that planning applications of all types fell on average by 3.5 per cent in March and 18.5 per cent in April in England and Wales.

Six months after introducing its Financial Transaction Service (FTS) the Planning Portal is reporting that promised improvements to how the service operates are already being delivered.

The Planning Portal has relaunched its website and underlying digital platform to facilitate increased use of mobile devices and to provide multi-language support for both English and Welsh.
