We have designed and developed the existing digital planning systems for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland - enabling digital submission, payment and receipt of planning applications efficiently.

Application Submission Portal

The Application Submission Portal is the online service used by councils that allows applicants to create, edit, collaborate on, and submit planning applications, which are then seamlessly transferred to the relevant local authority for validation and decision.
This is the same technology we use to power the Planning Portal.
