BRADFORD homeowners and businesses can now complete their entire building control approval application process on a single platform.

The Building Control page, part of Planning Portal and operated by TerraQuest, has introduced a feature allowing users to request their application fees through the site.

This means they can now manage their entire planning and building control applications through a single login.

Implemented after user feedback, the new feature coincides with the site being used to submit nearly 3,000 applications in the six months since its launch.

Geoff Keal, TerraQuest CEO, said: "By making this update to the Building Control service, people in Bradford looking to gain approval to continue with their project no longer have to email or call their local council to find out how much their application will cost.

"Having the entire process in a single streamlined space means applicants can easily apply, view, amend and receive the go-ahead without having to keep track of various forms of communication."
