Christchurch Planning Portal: Applying for Planning Permission

If you’re planning a project in or around Christchurch, the Christchurch planning portal is your primary route to submit, track, and comment on planning applications. Managed by the local planning authority, it allows you to upload documents, follow the progress of decisions, and ensure your proposal meets all relevant regulations.

The Christchurch planning portal is also a valuable tool for residents wishing to view planning applications in their area or comment on an application during public consultations. This transparency encourages community engagement and helps shape local development.

At Collington Winter Environmental, we offer a range of ecological consultancy services to support your application via the Christchurch planning portal:

• Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA) – Identifying habitats and potential ecological constraints
• Protected Species Surveys – Assessments for bats, badgers, great crested newts, and birds, with mitigation guidance.
• Tree Surveys – Health and root protection assessments for trees on or near your site.
• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – Calculations to meet the 10% biodiversity increase required under the Environment Act 2021.
• Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) – On-site monitoring to ensure ecological conditions are met during construction.
