How we can help
Let’s discuss how we can help you to transform your processes using our innovational planning and building software and technology.
Proven technology
For over two decades, our application submission software for England, the Planning Portal, has revolutionised planning by almost eliminating the paper-based alternative.
This has saved time and effort for applicants, while simplifying the way applications are received and processed by local authorities.
Designed with a balance of advanced features
The system is designed with a balance of advanced features to meet the expectations of planning experts, and guidance to ensure ease of use for non-experts.
Simplifying the process
Our software streamlines planning and building control applications, making the process quicker, more accessible, and efficient, saving time, money, and resources.
It connects with local authority back-office systems to transfer applications, and the admin dashboard allows authorities to customise functions and share information with applicants.
How does it work?
The Application Submission Portal is configurable, out-of-the-box software with the ability to integrate our other solutions. Our existing services demonstrate how these integrations can be flexed to accommodate national variations.

Online forms to digitally capture application data.
Calculate fee
Integrated fee calculator allows the correct fee to be ascertained.
