Online
Planning online in Carmarthenshire
|
In a first for Welsh local authorities, Carmarthenshire
County Council is now providing online access to all planning applications.
From 1 June 2004 details of all applications are available on the county's
website.
Plans, application forms and all supporting information (with
plans, maps and elevations supplied as pdf files) can be inspected without
the need to circulate hard copies. Visitors to the site can make comments
using an online form. Applications will normally appear on the site within
3-5 working days of receipt.
To use the facility, choose "Local
Services " from the council's home page, and navigate to "Planning",
then
"View Planning Application details". Although you have the option
to register, this is not needed if you simply want to find an application.
Applications can be searched by date, by street, by number and by postcode.
Decision notices will be online within five-ten days after
determination.
As the Assembly moves forward with proposals for greater community
involvement in the planning system, other councils must consider following Carmarthenshire's
lead as a priority.
