Chiltern teams up with South Bucks for online working

The Planning Portal is pleased to welcome Chiltern District Council to the community of local planning authorities accepting online applications.

Chiltern District Council has been working hard to improve its business processes to facilitate online working.  The authority has been joint working with South Bucks to ensure cost effectiveness between the two authorities and a new approach to service provision.

Peter Beckford, head of sustainable development for Chiltern & South Bucks, said: “As a result of joint working and a reinvigorated approach we have reorganised and improved our back-office systems to deliver a more customer-focussed and streamlined service.

“We have listened to our customers and by demonstrating our commitment to the Planning Portal we hope they will submit applications online as the preferred method.”
