SIMPLE SEARCH The “Simple Search” function can be used when you know the Application Reference Number for the Application you are looking for. In the example below, the user is searching for Planning Application Reference “15/99999/FUL”. To search, you simply have to type the Reference Number into the search field next to the blue “Search” button, and then click on this button. If the Reference Number exists, this will lead you directly to the Application you are looking for. ADVANCED SEARCH The “Advanced Search” option allows you to find Applications that you know may exist, but you may not know the Application Reference Number. As per the screenshot below, there are numerous fields you can search for, such as Applicant Name, type of Application, date received, or site address. By using this search method, you may bring up more than 1 application that meets the criteria set out by you in your search. From this list, you should be able to identify the Application you were searching for (or you may be using it to bring up all applications that meet certain criteria, in which case you will be able to take the information you require from the list that appears). WEEKLY/MONTHLY LISTS The “Weekly/Monthly Lists” search function allows you to bring up all applications that are validated or decided for specific areas during specific timeframes. To bring up the Weekly or Monthly Search function, click on the “Weekly/Monthly Lists” tab, and click on either the “Weekly List” or “Monthly List” button, as highlighted in red below. Enter in the criteria that you wish to search for, click the “search” button. This will lead you to a list of all Applications that meet the criteria you have searched for in the above screen. This function is particularly useful if you wish to view any applications that have been made within your area, and is used more as a general search tool than the previous 2 methods.
