One of the most popular sections of Blaby District Council’s renowned website has been streamlined for residents.

To ensure an easy online experience, the Planning section has undergone a makeover to make it easier for users to make an application, search for an application and find out if you need to submit an application.

With around 1500 applications and requests made every year, Planning is one of the Council’s most popular services.

In 2015 Planning generated over 146,000 page views, accounting for almost 10% of all visits to the website.

A section has also been produced for major applications including Lubbesthorpe, for both residents and research students.

The extensive development with over 4,000 homes has a dedicated area with information on the history of the planning process and latest updates.
