New Planning Portal preview: LPA administration

In this preview of new Planning Portal features we’ll take a look at some improvements only local authorities will notice.

The redesign was a chance to consolidate and improve the way local authorities engage with the Planning Portal and configure customer-facing services such as PAR configuration and application payment options.

We wanted to make everything much easier and more convenient for local authorities with a single sign-on so that all the options they need to administer from their accounts are to hand, including application downloads.

Again, pictures speak louder than words so we’ve prepared another short video to let you get a feel for the new system. As before, there’s no sound on the video but we’ve added captions to explain the key on-screen elements.

The next post will look at the improvements we’re making to Supporting Documents – one of the areas of the system with the most amount of customer feedback.
