Chatham Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

If you’re planning a development project in or near Chatham, you will need to use the Chatham Planning Portal. Managed by Chatham Borough Council, this online portal serves as the primary route for submitting and managing planning applications, uploading required documents, and tracking progress throughout the decision-making process.

The portal also enables local residents and stakeholders to stay informed. You can view planning applications, explore development proposals in your area, and comment on an application as part of the public consultation stage.

At Collington Winter Environmental, we offer a range of ecological services to support your project through the Chatham Planning Portal:

• Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA): Site-level assessments that identify habitats and potential constraints at an early stage.
• Protected Species Surveys: Specialist surveys and mitigation strategies for legally protected wildlife, including assistance with licensing.
• Tree Surveys: Evaluations of tree health, species, and root protection areas, ensuring your development minimises ecological disruption.
• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG): Using the Defra metric, we help you meet legal requirements to deliver at least a 10% net increase in biodiversity.
• Ecological Clerk of Works: On-site ecological monitoring during construction to ensure all planning and environmental conditions are met.

Including these services in your submission strengthens your case and ensures your planning application aligns with local environmental expectations via the Chatham Planning Portal.

If you’re submitting a proposal via the Chatham Planning Portal and need guidance on meeting ecological requirements, our experienced team is here to support you. From your first enquiry to post-submission advice, we offer tailored, professional support at every stage.

Whether you’re unsure about which surveys are needed, need help interpreting council feedback, or want to ensure your project complies with biodiversity and environmental regulations, we can help simplify the process.
