| Administrative / biographical background: |
The Planning Portal was launched in 2002 to allow planning applications in England and Wales to be processed electronically and it received its first electronic planning application in April 2003. The Portal later added information content for Building Regulations (though not their submission) and the ability to purchase site location plans. In February 2012 the one millionth application was submitted through the Planning Portal and by November 2012 over 60% of all planning applications submitted in England and Wales were done so. In March 2015 the business was privatised and on 11 March 2015, the Planning Portal transferred ownership from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to a joint venture between DCLG and private company TerraQuest. |
