Beeston Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission
The Beeston planning portal is the official system for submitting and managing a planning application in Beeston. It enables applicants to upload documents, track progress, and comment on planning applications, making it a central component of the local planning process. Residents in and around the Beeston area can also view and comment on an application which may affect them.
It is essential to note that meeting environmental regulations is crucial to ensuring a successful project outcome. Seeking expert ecological advice early can help avoid any delays and ensure full compliance with local environmental legislation.
At Collington Winter, our ecological consultants provide planning support that aligns with both local Broxtowe borough environmental policy and long-term national standards.
The planning application process
- Prepare Your Application
Gather the necessary documents:
- Completed forms (available via the Beeston Planning Portal)
- Site plans and technical drawings
- Supporting documents, including any ecological surveys or design statements.
- Submit Online
Upload all forms and documents onto the system
- Public Consultation
Once submitted, your application enters the public consultation phase. Residents and stakeholders will begin viewing planning applications and leave appropriate feedback.
- Application Review
The council will evaluate your proposal against local planning and environmental policies. Changes to strategy may be discussed, especially around Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
- Decision Notification
A planning officer or committee will issue a decision, which will be posted on the portal.
Key ecological considerations for planning applications
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) – In line with the Environment Act 2021, developments must deliver a minimum of a 10% net gain in biodiversity.
Landscape Surveys – Assess ecological and visual impact and identify enhancement options.
Ecological Clerk of Works – On-site environmental monitoring during construction to ensure compliance with agreed measures.
