Andover Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

If you’re planning a new development in the Andover area, securing planning permission is an essential first step. Managed by Test Valley Borough Council, the Andover Planning Portal serves as the central hub for submitting, tracking, and reviewing planning applications within the region. It allows residents, developers, and stakeholders to stay informed and engage with local development proposals.

To avoid delays or complications, it’s vital to ensure your project aligns with Test Valley’s planning policies – particularly those concerning environmental sustainability and ecological impact. Andover is home to rich biodiversity, scenic countryside, and protected habitats, making ecological compliance a key factor in gaining approval.

Working with an experienced ecological consultancy like Collington Winer Environmental can simplify this process. Our expert team delivers a range of ecological services, including Preliminary Ecological Appraisals, protected species surveys, and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) strategies, helping ensure your proposal meets all environmental requirements set by the local authority.
