My Elmbridge Help

How do I show my closest Planning Applications?

There are a number of ways to do this, but first you must enter the address about which you wish to enquire.

When using My Elmbridge for the first time, the current location will not be set.

To set a required location, enter as much of the address as you know in the Search for a location panel and hit the Find button

The more you enter the shorter the list of addresses you will have to select from.

The matching address entries will be displayed as a list beneath the Search for a location panel.
[In this example we just entered "civic" which then shows a list of addresses which contain "civic" in the address.]

If you do not see the entry you require in the list either click on Next or Previous or narrow your search by entering more of the address in the Search for a location panel.

To select an address simply click on the entry in the list.

The current location is now set and displayed in the Address Bar.

You are now ready to find your closest Planning Applications.

1. Finding your closest Planning Applications using My House :

By default the My House page will display.

On the right hand side of the page under the Planning & Environment heading the 3 nearest and most recent Planning Applications to your set location are listed.

To find out more detailed information about a specific Application, click on the Application Reference number highlighted in green. This will take you to the Council's E-Planning pages where you can track progress and view associated documentation such as Plans and Letters of Representation. To return to My Elmbridge, hit the Back button twice.

2. Finding your closest Planning Applications using My Nearest :

Another way to access planning information is by selecting the My Nearest tab.

Once the My Nearest page has displayed, click the Other things that may interest you button.

In the Select Content to Show table, tick the box next to Planning & Environment and hit Save.

Scroll down to the Planning & Environment section where the nearest 10 Planning Applications within the last 3 months are listed.

3. Finding your closest Planning Applications using My Maps :

You can also view your closest Planning Applications on a map.

To do this, select the My Maps tab.

Once the map has displayed, click on the Find My Nearest button.

In the Find My Nearest box, from the drop-down list to the right of the default entry Cemeteries, select the Last 3 months Planning Applications.

Again from the drop-down list set the buffer distance from within the results will be selected, for example: 500 metres.

Finally select the number of results you want displayed, for example: Five results.

Hit Go!

The map will re-display showing the nearest planning applications highlighted on the map with numbered balloons with number 1 being the nearest, by their distance away, to your selected location.

Below the map you will see all of the information about each application
If the heading is highlighted in green, as it is in the screenshot below, clicking on it will link you to the actual planning application.

You may clear all of the Find Nearest entries by clicking on the Clear Results from Map button.
