We saw >5k submissions made online again through eDevelopment after a drop off the week before (+13% from last week). We do tend to see a drop-off around this time of year with Easter hol's and 2026 appears no different 😀

That's the site back up and running - thanks for your patience everyone :)

We're having some technical issues with the eDevelopment site this morning - all users will be affected. We apologise and are working on fixing the issue. We'll let you know when it's been fixed!

Another decent week for submissions on eDevelopment with 5,557 made online in total via ePlanning and eBStds. That's also the 10th straight week with >5k submissions continuing a very strong start to the year.

Last week saw a reduction in submissions from the previous week with around 5.5k made online. That's still the 9th straight week of submission numbers >5k.

The eDevelopment support desk will be closed for the day on Tuesday 24th March. Any queries received during this period will be picked up when the support desk reopens 09:00 on Wednesday 25th. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

6,031 online submissions made last week via eDevelopment - that's the biggest weekly total since March 2024 and an increase of over 13% compared to the same week last year.

Scratch last week's tweet - the online submission numbers just increased again this last week with 5,573. That's 7 consecutive weeks above 5k mark and the highest for 2026 so far.

Last week was the busiest week in 2026 so far for ppl making online planning and BStds submissions - we received 5,564 submissions last week alone which was around 6% more than in the same week last year.

The eDevelopment service will be offline for around an hour this morning while we release an essential update. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

It was another big week for eBStds continuing a strong start to 2026. It was also 5 consecutive weeks of where total submissions through eDevelopment >5k - a feat only seen once before back in 2022.

Another strong week for eDevelopment with 5,311 submissions made online between the 9th and 15th February 2026. That's a small increase from last week (+1.1%) and a slightly higher increase compared to the same week in 2025 (+2.4%)

Last week saw the 5th consecutive increase in submission numbers this year with 5,253 applications and appeals made online - there were increases in both Planning and BStds forms last week. 📈

We were having a few issues with address lookup on our site. Happy to report that the postcode search is now back up and running.

The strong start in submission numbers in 2026 has continued with 5,215 made online last week (+11.3% on the same week last year).

Last week was the first this year with >5k submissions - and saw 9% more Planning and BStds made than the same week in 2025.

The site will be offline from 5pm this afternoon for around an hour while essential maintenance is undertaken. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

It's been a good start to the year for planning and BStds applications - another 4.9k submissions made online last week. That's +4% on the same week last year.

Things are starting to crank back up again after the festive break after a quiet period with 4,385 submissions made in the last week. That's only a very slight reduction compared to the same week last year (-1.3%).

We will be reducing the hours on our Support Desk for the next two weeks. Guidance on using the eDevelopment service and resolving common issues will continue to be available on our Support Tab at bit.ly/4at3syb
