Accessibility Statement
Our commitment to readable, mobile-friendly, accessible UK planning information and ongoing usability improvement.
Accessibility Statement
ukplanningportal.org/ aims to make planning information easier to read, navigate, and understand. Many planning users are dealing with unfamiliar terminology, local authority systems, public registers, legal notices, drawings, maps, and time-sensitive decisions. Clear access matters.
Our Accessibility Goals
- Use clear headings and short sections.
- Write in plain English where possible.
- Use readable font sizes and high-contrast layouts.
- Make tables responsive on mobile screens.
- Use descriptive links that explain the destination.
- Avoid unnecessary visual clutter on primary pages.
- Support keyboard and screen-reader friendly structure where practical.
External Websites
Council portals, map embeds, official PDFs, application registers, payment systems, and external documents may have their own accessibility issues. We cannot control those external systems, but we can improve our descriptions, labels, and page context where possible.
Report an Accessibility Issue
If a ukplanningportal.org/ page is difficult to read, hard to navigate, broken on mobile, missing labels, or confusing with assistive technology, contact us with the page URL, device, browser, and issue description.

Ongoing Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We welcome feedback that helps us improve planning information for homeowners, neighbours, agents, applicants, older users, mobile users, and people using assistive technology.
