Planning Portal

• Guide to the Planning Process
  The Guide section provides a brief introduction to the planning system and some explanation of why planning controls are important and necessary. It includes general guidance about the kinds of work for which you need to apply for planning permission and those for which you do not. It is intended for both householders and business people.
  
• Apply 
  From 6th April 2008, the National Standard Planning Application Form (1APP) has replaced all existing types of planning application forms in England and is now the only legal way of submitting a planning application. As such, Havant Borough Council now supports applications, and fee payments, submitted electronically using the portal. If you wish you can also create electronic applications for Havant Borough Council and then print your forms and submit them by post. To use this service you will need to register with the Planning Portal and create a User Name and Password. You can also use the Portal's on-line applications service to purchase a site location plan to accompany your application.  Accompanying documents can be attached to online planning applications.
  
• Appeal
  The Appeals section provides information and guidance on the Appeals process. If you seek permission to carry out works to your property and your application isn't decided within a set period, or you get a decision from your local council that you disagree with, you have a right to appeal.
  
• Study
  The Study section is designed to help people to teach or learn about town and country planning. It is a useful resource for teachers and students of Planning and those considering or pursuing a career in town and country planning.
  
• Research
  The Research section of the Portal is aimed at planning professionals and those with an in-depth interest in planning policy and reform. You can obtain information on many issues including the Government's Planning Reform Programme, Parliamentary answers and statements on planning matters and you can view copies of Planning Policy
