Enfield Council will introduce a new online system for Planning, Building Control and Local Land Charges later this year.
This is part of our work to improve our online services and make them easier to use. The services you can access will not change, but some webpages, forms and online processes may look different.
The new system will provide a more modern and user-friendly experience for residents, businesses and anyone who uses our planning services.
What this means for residents
You will still be able to use all the services you use today, including:
- applying for planning permission
- viewing planning applications and decisions
- using Building Control services
- requesting Local Land Charges searches
- reporting possible breaches of planning rules
You do not need to do anything right now.
When the new system is launched, you may notice:
- a new look and feel on our website
- easier access to planning information and documents
- updated online forms
- clearer online guidance and support
The aim is to make it easier to find information and use our online services
When the new system will launch
The new system is planned to go live on 30 November 2026.
Before then, we will carry out testing, training and other preparation work to help ensure a smooth transition.
Help and support
We know that changes to online services can take time to get used to.
To help residents use the new system, we will provide:
- step-by-step user guides
- short demonstration videos
- frequently asked questions (FAQs)
- contact details for further help and support
These resources will be available on our website before the new system launches.
Updates
We will continue to share updates as we prepare to launch the new system.
Our aim is to make planning services easier to access and use, while supporting residents throughout the change.
