Submit-A-Plan
The West Lindsey Building Control service has joined with other Local Authorities to develop the Submit-a-plan portal.
This allows you to submit Building Regulation applications over the internet.
You are able to complete an on-line application form and send us electronic copies of your plans. At the moment you cannot pay the fee 'electronically', on-line payments will be available soon. So, for now, payments still need to be made by cheque, or debit card.
This service is:
- Free of charge to use
- Open 24 hours a day 7 days a week
- No printing or postage required - cost savings
- To register and submit applications is simple - via e-mail
- Online feedback on individual applications - instant monitoring 'Track-a-Plan'
