Bolsover Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission
The Bolsover planning portal is the designated online platform for submitting and managing planning applications within the region. It enables users to upload necessary documentation and track the progress of their applications efficiently.
To obtain planning permission, proposals must meet the environmental requirements outlined by Bolsover District Council. Engaging an ecological consultant at an early stage can help streamline the process, minimise delays, and ensure compliance with ecological legislation.
At Collington Winter, our experienced ecological consultants provide expert support tailored to meet both local planning guidelines and national environmental laws. We assist clients throughout the planning journey, offering clarity and confidence at every step.

- Application forms (accessible via the Bolsover planning portal)

- Architectural and technical drawings
- Supporting materials, such as ecological surveys and Design & Access Statements
Submit online – Upload your completed application and documents directly through the portal
Public consultation – Your application will be made available for public review, allowing residents and stakeholders to provide feedback

Ecological considerations in planning
Ecological factors are a vital part of the planning process. Depending on your project, you may need:
Ecological Surveys – To assess habitats and inform sensitive development
Protected Species Assessment – To identify legally protected species such as bats, badgers, or great crested newts
Tree surveys – To assess species, condition, and root protection zones
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – To demonstrate at least a 10% net gain in biodiversity, as required by the Environment Act 2021
Landscape Surveys – To evaluate visual and landscape implications
Ecological Clerk of Works – To ensure environmental compliance during construction
