Welcome to Public Access for Planning

Public Access for Planning is our online internet service that provides details of current planning applications. You can follow the progress of an application, make a comment, search a weekly list of applications and decisions, view historic applications and view property details including maps. Using the associated documents tool you will be able to view application drawings and attachments.

You can submit a planning application electronically to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. Using the following link to the the Planning Portal, which also enables you to pay your fee online.

The Public Access service continues to be developed and at the present time no constraint information is available online.

The online planning history contained within the site at the present is incomplete and must not be used as a substitute for carrying out a formal 'Land Charge Search'. No responsibility will be taken for any errors or omissions in the planning history information obtained from 'Public Access'. Similarly the information contained within Public Access does not constitute in any way a formal notification of a planning decision, and as such any actions taken as a result of information displayed on the site are undertaken entirely at the viewers own risk.

Under normal circumstances the plans and documents associated with new planning applications will be able to be viewed within three working days of receipt of the application. If none are displayed at the time, you may wish to try a few days later or alternatively you will be able to view the application and associated documents at the Council Offices, Argents Mead, Hinckley during normal office hours.

You will need Adobe acrobat viewer in order to be able to view associated documents. This can be downloaded free of charge from the adobe website: http://www.adobe.com
