The new planning Online system

Allowing you to sign up for weekly or monthly lists to be sent to you by email.

This is very helpful for monitoring planning applications in your area.
It also allows you to sign up for notification if any changes are made to an application, for instance new documents posted.
This is also very useful.

You will need to set up a log in account for this service-
this is easy to do – here is the link.

We are told by the Planning Officers that many groups do not appear
to have set up accounts. We urge you to do so.

The system has had its teething troubles – if you have any particular instances,
for instance files not downloading, please let us and the Planning Case Officer know,
so that the fault can be rectified ASAP.

If you have any comments about the system and reasons why you haven’t logged on,
can you let me know so that we can see if any problems can be sorted out?
