Bath Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

The Bath planning portal is the official system for submitting and managing a planning application in Bath and North East Somerset. It enables applicants to upload documents, track progress, and view public feedback, making it a central component of the local planning process.

Meeting environmental regulations is essential for a successful outcome. Seeking expert ecological advice early can help avoid delays and ensure full compliance. At Collington Winter, our ecological consultants provide planning support that aligns with both local policy and national environmental standards.

Ecological impact is a key consideration in all planning applications. Most projects will need:

Ecological Surveys – Assess baseline biodiversity and inform mitigation strategies

Protected Species Assessment – Identify species like bats, newts, or nesting birds, and suggest necessary safeguards.

Tree surveys – Evaluate species, health, and root zones to protect mature trees.

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – As per the Environment Act 2021, developments must deliver at least a 10% net gain in biodiversity.

Landscape Surveys – Assess ecological and visual impact and identify enhancement options.

Ecological Clerk of Works – On-site ecological monitoring during construction to ensure compliance with agreed measures.

Our team at Collington Winter Environmental provides full ecological planning support – from initial surveys to BNG calculations and on-site supervision. We ensure your planning application meets all local and national requirements, helping you move through the planning portal process smoothly and efficiently.
