Your council tax, benefits and business rates account will be offline

From 5pm on Tuesday 7 October until 5pm Friday 10 October you will not be able to access your council tax, benefits or business rates account online. This is whilst we upgrade our system. Housing Benefit and Local Council Tax Support online application forms remain available. Our information line also remains open on 0330 123 0081. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Marketing for loss of employment and retail uses

Use our marketing information pack (PDF, 190 KB) if you're making a planning application which will lead to either:

  • loss of employment
  • loss of space used for retail

We're currently preparing a Marketing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). This will explain exactly what marketing evidence you need to provide, if our Local Plan asks for it.

Use the pack before we adopt the SPD. It helps you meet existing requirements of the Local Plan: strategy and sites. It does not introduce new policy requirements.
