Chessington Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

The Chessington Planning Portal is the official online hub for submitting, managing, and tracking planning applications across the Chessington area. Designed for convenience, it enables applicants to upload required documents, follow the progress of their applications, and participate in the planning process by viewing and commenting on other proposals.

To give your project the best chance of approval and to ensure it meets the environmental standards of Kingston Council, it is wise to seek ecological advice early. Collington Winter offers professional ecological consultancy to support your application from the initial stages right through to final approval.

Ecology is a key consideration in the planning process. Common requirements include:

• Ecological Surveys– To identify habitats and species on site to guide mitigation strategies
• Protected Species Assessment– In-depth studies for bats, badgers, great crested newts, and nesting birds, to inform mitigation plans
• Tree surveys– To assess tree health and root systems to avoid ecological harm
• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)– Under the Environment Act 2021, developments must deliver at least a 10% biodiversity net gain using the statutory metric
• Landscape Surveys– To evaluate potential impacts on the local landscape and recommend ecological improvements
• Ecological Clerk of Works– On-site monitoring during construction to ensure compliance with planning conditions and mitigation strategies
