**Collaborate on large development projects**  
A dedicated space for colleagues to project manage on large scale schemes.

### 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.

#### Create application

#### Calculate fee

Integrated fee calculator allows the correct fee to be ascertained.

#### Upload documents
