1APP - Changes to Planning Application Forms
1APP will change the way you submit planning applications to every authority in England. Learn more about 1APP at the Planning Portal.
In 2005, the government announced the introduction of the National Standard Planning Application Form (1APP) as part of the drive to simplify and sdtreaamline the process for handling applications for planning permission and associated consents. There are a number of expected benefits from 1APP including a simpler, more transparent planning process, familiarisation with just one form for all application types and all Councils and a better chance of submitting a valid planning application.
Timetable for adopting 1APP in Trafford
