Corrections Policy

We want ukplanningportal.org/ to stay accurate, useful, and safe for users. If a council link changes, a map is wrong, an address is outdated, an official page moves, or an article needs clearer wording, we welcome correction requests.

What We Correct

Broken or moved official council links.
Incorrect local planning authority names.
Outdated public phone numbers, contact routes, maps, and addresses.
Confusing planning permission or building control explanations.
Missing official-source warnings on high-risk pages.
Outdated references to application, appeal, lawful development, enforcement, or building control pages.

What We Cannot Correct

We cannot change council planning records, application documents, decision notices, objections, enforcement notices, appeal decisions, map boundaries, or official register entries. If the official council record is wrong, contact the relevant council or public body.

How to Request a Correction

Send our page URL: Tell us exactly which page needs review.

Describe the problem: Explain whether it is a link, address, map, phone number, process, or wording issue.

Share an official source: Include the official council, Planning Portal, GOV.UK, or public body link that supports the correction.

Avoid private data: Do not send sensitive planning documents or personal details unless necessary for the correction.

Correction Review Standard

We review corrections manually. If the correction is confirmed, we may update the page, add a clearer warning, replace a link, revise the wording, or remove outdated information. For small spelling or formatting fixes, we may update without a public note. For safety-related corrections, we may revise the surrounding text to make the page more cautious.
