FIFE Council is encouraging all agents and applicants to submit their planning applications on the new ePlanning.scot portal that has been launched.
The Council is a partner in the eDevelopment.scot programme, which is refreshing the ePlanning service across Scotland.
The new portal replaces the current ePlanning portal that was introduced in 2009 and provides a facility for submitting planning applications to any Scottish Planning Authority.
Mary Stewart, Service Manager, Major Business and Customer Service, Fife Council, said: “Online applications are simple, save applicants time and money and are delivered to us swiftly, enabling us to start considering proposed developments sooner.
Cllr Lesley Laird, Fife Council’s Depute Leader and Executive Spokesperson Economy and Planning, added: “This initiative is a step forward in ensuring that Fife’s Planning Service is best placed to meet the needs of businesses and helps the Council to increase sustainable economic growth and deliver quality places to live."
