Planning application portal
We are aware of a problem with the Council’s planning application portal and that some customers can not access and open planning application documents using their mobile phone. If you need to access any planning application documents, we recommend viewing them on a computer or by switching your mobile or tablet browser to ‘view desktop site’. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
