1APP is coming
Are you aware of the biggest change to the planning system in decades?
1APP will change the way you submit planning applications to every authority in England.
From the 6th April 2008, the Standard Planning Application Form (1APP) will replace all existing types of planning application forms (except minerals) within England and will become the only legal way of submitting a planning application.
Applications may be submitted on Adur Council's existing planning application forms up until the 5th April 2008. Although Adur Council plans to make the new 1App application forms and on-line application facility (via the Planning Portal) available prior to the 6th April 2008. Applicants will then be able to submit planning applications on the new 1App paper forms, or on-line through the Planning Portal. This date will shortly be announced through local communications and on this page.
Learn more about 1APP on the Planning Portal 1APP webpage (www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/government/en/1115314697037.html).
The 1APP forms are also now available on our website.
