New improved e-planning - search planning applications and appeals
We are pleased to announce that customers now have access to a brand new online e-planning system to search planning applications and appeals information.
The new e-Planning system has been designed to offer many more features. At the core of the new system will be user registration, enabling customers to set up pro-active, personal email notifications, based on the applications and locations they are interested in. Other significant features are better search options and improved accessibility.
