A new website on which people can view all new planning applications made to Breckland Council has been launched. Up until now anyone wanting to view plans or other documents relating to a planning application has had to go to the council offices and request a folder with all the information in.
A new website on which people can view all new planning applications made to Breckland Council has been launched.
Up until now anyone wanting to view plans or other documents relating to a planning application has had to go to the council offices and request a folder with all the information in.
This has been for everything from conservatories to major applications for housing or wind turbines.
Now all the information will be made available online. On top of that people will be able to comment on the applications online and see comments made by other people.
Key dates in the planning process - when applications are due to be decided - will also be on the site.
To find it, go to Breckland's homepage, www.breckland.gov.uk, click on Environment and Planning and then Planning and Development Control. Scroll down to Breckland Online Planning Search.
