		+	Planning Portal launched its new location plan feature, a process change for applicants when creating and submitting applications. From a practical point of view, the portal are keen members and affiliates are aware as it will be a process change and the new service will be an integrated feature when making applications.
		+
		+	The new location plan service allows applicants to easily draw the application site ‘red line’ boundary on a map, after finding the site address using the postcode search (or the location by entering a grid reference). Alternatively, the applicant can upload a GeoJSON file. This new service can be used as an alternative to purchasing a location plan elsewhere, offering an easy, integrated solution.
