Did you know that you can register to receive notifications of planning applications near you?
We know that residents sometimes get frustrated when planning applications are made on properties near where they live, but they didn’t know about them. Fortunately, there are several ways to ensure you receive timely alerts.
- The first is to join KENDRA, the residents association for Kenley, and receive their weekly emails which alert residents in Kenley to all new applications within the ward.
- Secondly, if you live in the roads covered by HADRA, the residents association for 25 roads in west of the ward, you can view their planning table and also receive support on applications within the HADRA area.
- Finally, register directly onto Croydon Council’s Public Access Register which will enable you to search for planning applications, appeals and enforcements by keyword, application reference, postcode or by a single line of an address. You can also set up a registration for tracking applications, saving searches and to receive email notifications about tracked applications and new search results. The council has produced a guide on how to search for planning applications and how to register to receive notification emails. View the guide here.
Residents new to planning will often contact Cllr Kolade and I for guidance on how to comment on a planning applications, so we put this guide together: A short guide to making effective comments on a Planning Application. Additionally, both KENDRA and HADRA provide very useful guidance to their members.
