Anglesey Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission
The Anglesey planning portal serves as the primary platform for submitting and managing planning applications within the area. It also enables users to monitor ongoing developments and provide feedback on applications.
Obtaining professional environmental advice is crucial to ensure your project meets the ecological requirements set by Anglesey County Council. At Collington Winter, we offer specialist ecological consultancy to support you through every stage of the planning process, ensuring your development complies with all necessary ecological standards and aligns with local conservation goals.
All planning applications in Anglesey must be submitted via the official planning portal.
Anglesey planning portal: The application process
Developers should follow these key steps when applying for planning permission:
Prepare your application: Begin by gathering and completing all necessary documentation, which typically includes:
- Relevant application forms (available through the planning portal)
- Site plans and architectural drawings (e.g. floor plans, elevations)
- Supporting documents such as a Design and Access Statement, ecological surveys, and heritage assessments (as required)
- A Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) proposal demonstrating a minimum 10% enhancement to local biodiversity
Submit the application
- Fill out the online application form with comprehensive project details
- Upload all required plans and supporting documents via the planning portal
Public consultation
- Once validated, your application becomes publicly accessible through the portal
- Local residents, statutory consultees, and other stakeholders will have the opportunity to review and provide feedback
Application assessment
- The council reviews your submission against local planning policies, environmental impacts, stakeholder responses, and public comments
- You may be asked to revise elements of the application, particularly those related to ecological considerations or your BNG proposal
Decision stage
- Applications are dedicated either by a planning officer or by the council’s planning committee, depending on the nature and complexity of the development
- The decision will be communicated to the applicant and published on the planning portal
What ecological requirements are considered during the planning permission process?
When submitting a planning application via the Anglesey planning portal, it is essential to prioritise ecological requirements. The most common ecological factors to consider include:
- Ecological Surveys – To assess ecosystems and plant species that may require special attention
- Protected Species Assessment – To identify any protected species which may be present, such as bats and badgers, that may need protection plans
- Tree surveys – To evaluate the impact on trees on the site
- Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – Any new developments are legally required to improve the local ecological habitat by at least 10%, either directly on-site or by offsetting the requirement elsewhere.
- Landscape Surveys – Consideration must be given to the potential impact on the surrounding landscape.
- Ecological Clerk of Works – Collington Winter can delegate an ecological clerk of works to oversee any assessments with respect to protected species and BNG
