The Brecon Beacons National Park Authority offers two different online application services.

Public Access

The BBNPA Public Access service can be used to:

• view application history for a property
• view current applications, including documents
• make comments about an application
• find properties and applications on an interactive map

As of 12 February 2009 the Authority has launched a new document access system.  We have been paying attention to the criticisms made of the old system and have worked hard to address them. 

Features now include:

• Greatly enhanced speed
• Thumbnails of JPG and TIFF images
• Logical grouping of documents into phases
• Application
• Consideration
• Decision
• Development Monitoring
• Appeal
• ZIP file downloads of all documents for a given application phase
• Access to all versions of plans
• No withdrawl of documents post-decision
• Visibility of creation dates of documents (all documents from the old system will be dated 12/02/09)

Documents will normally be available within 48 hours of their creation or receipt.*

We hope you like the new system. 

If you have any feedback to give please get in touch.

Please note that not all details of an application will be visible.  Basic application history is visible from 1993 onwards.  The main textual data should be complete  for applications made from 3 April 2006 onwards and the associated documents and consultee comments from 9 July 2007 onwards.

The system is not available from 9pm until early morning each weekday night due to maintenance requirements.

*Applications are not visible until they have been validated; this is normally 5 working days from receipt if there are no issues.

• general information
• building regulations guidance
• information on energy saving and micro-generation
• further guidance on making an application
• applying online using the new 1APP process, please note that if you apply online it will be assumed that you would prefer to be contacted by email rather than post unless you inform us otherwise
