The Planning Portal
||
It is aimed at everyone, from central government and local authorities to planning professionals and interested lay people.
The Planning Portal offers the latest National Planning News, access to Regulations and Guidance Notes for applications and Appeals Procedure.
Below are links directly into the Planning Portal which provide information supplemental to that found on our website.
- Planning Portal Home Page The Planning Portal offers a wide range of services and guidance on the planning system. This is the main entry page into the portal. From here you check if you need planning permission for a development, find jobs in planning in the Careers zone, find out more about planning appeals, and read the latest planning news.
The following links are specific to Ashfield:
- Guide to the
Planning System The Guide section offers a brief introduction to the planning system and some explanation of what planning
is for and why it is important to us all.
This section of the Planning Portal is intended for both householders and business people. It explains why planning controls are necessary and how decisions are made. - On-line planning application An alternative route to submitting your planning application to us electronically, rather than using the forms on this site and e-mailing them to us. In this area you can: create a planning application and send it electronically to Ashfield District Council's Planning service along with any attachments including payments, or complete the forms on your computer then print and send them by post as part of a traditional paper application.
- Ashfield Development Plan Our Local Plan Review is lodged with the Planning Portal, as well as on this site.
- Policy
and Research The Policy & Research section of the Portal is aimed at planning professionals and those with an in-depth
interest in planning policy and reform.
