Purpose

Most local planning authorities are now able to receive an electronic online planning application, using one mechanism or another. Given that the application documentation is available in electronic format, the conduct of the consultation process using online techniques is a logical corollary.

Benefits

Online capability has become a key component of the planning process, as more and more local planning authorities have successfully delivered against the e-Government Agenda, and have become able to comply with the Pendleton Criteria in particular.
