Planning straight to your inbox

Want to know what's happening in your local area?  Want to know about future planning development?  Then sign up to Stratford-on-Avon District Council's new online tool.

The District Council is currently looking at innovative ways of getting planning information to local District residents and businesses. 

In a move away from the more traditional advertising method the District Council has created a new online tool designed to help Parishes, partners and residents access information on new planning applications within their neighbourhood.

This new online tool will send email alerts to anyone who has registered via the District Council's website notifying them of any planning applications which have been registered with the District Council and which fall within the selected geographical area.

The new online tool, which has been designed in-house, will not replace the press and site notices, it is being introduced to supplement the existing arrangements.  It will be an additional method of communication which will be more targeted, reliable and immediate for all those who register.

Cllr Jennie Ellard, Customer Access Portfolio says: “The District Council is committed to using every possible method of improving communication with residents, businesses and communities across our district. This new tool which has been developed by our own staff is an excellent example of this commitment. By registering to receive these alerts everyone with internet connection can be notified of planning applications within minutes of the application going live.  I hope that as many as possible take advantage of this new service
