Hackney Planning

http://www.hackney.gov.uk/planning/




For several years, Hackney has been at the forefront of making local planning information readily accessible to the public. When Sapling previously visited (in March 2003), we were disappointed to find the previously excellent Hackney Planning site rather out of date. Fortunately, all is now well and the site is once again an exemplar of its type. Users can access an excellent archive of planning applications, browsing by street or searching by postcode. In each case, a copy of the original application, details of the decision taken, and architectural plans (for current applications only) are provided, all in easily accessible PDF format. In addition, visitors can download a copy of the Hackney Unitary Development Plan (UDP), and see progress on the Local Development Framework (LDF) that will replace it; download planning application forms; or find out more about the work of the Building and Development Control Service. The site also offers excellent coverage of Hackney's 22 conservation areas, including descriptions, photographs and maps. Overall, Hackney Planning is a fine example of how the Internet can be used to improve transparency and access to information in the planning process. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 5 Mar 2006].

Newham: Planning

--NEW URL-- http://www.newham.gov.uk/Service.htm?_Service=100006&_Channel=200074




The London Borough of Newham has always been one of the leading local authorities in making its material available on the Web, and this site continues to impress. Although the planning pages are now integrated with the rest of the Newham site, its design remains clear and neat. Sections cover information about the Development Control Service; guidance about making a planning application, including downloadable application forms; latest news and background on Newham's Local Develpment Framework; and access to planning applications and decisions. Newham's Unitary Development Plan and an excellent set of Supplementary Planning Guidance documents are available to download in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. Still one of the best local authority planning sites, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 13 May 2008].
