Bleadon Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission
The Bleadon planning portal is the official online platform for submitting and tracking planning applications within the region. It allows applicants to upload required documents and monitor the progress of their submissions with ease.
To secure planning permission, proposals must comply with the environmental standards set by Bleadon Parish Council. Involving an ecological consultant early can help avoid delays and ensure alignment with ecological legislation.
At Collington Winter, our skilled ecological consultants offer expert guidance tailored to meet both local planning policies and national environmental regulations. We support clients throughout the entire planning journey, providing clarity and confidence.
The planning application process
Prepare your application – Assemble all necessary documents, which may include:
- Application forms (available via the Bleadon planning portal)
- Site location and block plans
- Technical drawings
- Supporting documentation such as ecological surveys and Design & Access Statements
Submit online – Upload your application and accompanying materials directly to the portal
Public consultation – The application will then enter a public consultation phase, inviting comments from residents and stakeholders
Application review – The planning authority assesses your submission for compliance with local policies and environmental standards
Decision issued – A planning officer or committee will determine the outcome, which will then be published on the planning portal
Ecological factors in planning
Ecology is central to the planning process. Depending on your site and proposal, you may require:
Ecological Surveys – To identify habitats and inform sensitive design
Protected Species Assessment – To detect species protected by law, such as bats, badgers, or great crested newts
Tree surveys – To evaluate trees for species, health, and root protection
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – To ensure a 10% increase in biodiversity, in line with the Environment Act 2021
Landscape Surveys – To assess effects on visual and landscape character
Ecological Clerk of Works – To oversee site works to ensure environmental measures are upheld
