1APP in its online form will intelligently determine the planning consent type required, and specify the LPAs additional information requirements, significantly increasing the chances of a valid application being submitted first time. This benefits both the applicant and the LPA staff who process the application, potentially resulting in a faster decision.

You will benefit from
- a simpler, streamlined application process
- familiarising yourself with just one form for all your applications
- saving standard information (e.g. your address and contact information) so you needn't re-enter it for every application
If you're a member of the general public:
You will benefit from
- a simpler more transparent planning process
- clear online guidance where and when you need it during the application process
- a better chance of submitting a valid planning application
