Set up automatic email notifications for planning applications.

You can set up automatic email notifications for future applications within a bespoke area that you specify by using the Council’s email notification tool. To use this service, you will need to create a  MyWestminster account if you do not already have one. Your MyWestminster account also allows you to comment on applications via the council’s website. The guidance below provides a step-by-step guide to setting up automatic notifications.

Alternatively, if you only want to receive email notifications of all applications within a quarter mile radius of a given postcode, you may wish to use the free service offered by Planning Alerts. Please note that Planning Alerts is a third-party provider of planning notifications, and you should ensure you have reviewed and agree to their terms and conditions before signing up to this service. Users of Planning Alerts will still need to create a MyWestminster account to enable them to comment on applications via the council’s website.
