HSE's Planning Advice Web App
HSE has transformed how it delivers its land use planning service, making it easier and quicker for developers, Planning Authorities, and others (eg. Agents, Architects, and Land Owners) to access HSE's formal advice. A 'Web App' allows developers and others to make enquiries related to any plot of land. It is an online system which also allows Planning Authorities to obtain HSE's advice directly.
Our Statutory and Commercial Land Use Planning Team was short-listed in the 'Stakeholder Engagement in Planning' category of The Planning Awards 2017. Hosted by Planning Magazine, these prestigious awards celebrate excellence in planning and place making. The team was nominated for its development of our online Land Use Planning tool and accompanying Pre-application Consultancy Service.
