Planning Applications

The Planning Applications page shows local planning applications on your website — plotted on a map, sortable by status, and filterable by date — so residents can keep track of development in the parish without leaving your site.

What residents see

The planning page pulls in applications for your area and presents them in three coordinated parts:

• An overview map with a marker for each application, colour-coded by status so residents can see at a glance what is approved, refused or still under consideration.
• Status filter tabs across the top, each showing a count, so a resident can narrow the list to (for example) only the applications currently open for comment.
• A date-range filter for focusing on a particular period, and pagination so long lists stay manageable.

Adding the planning page

The planning page is built from a Planning content block, the same way other pages are assembled in the page builder. To place it:

1. Go to Content › Pages and open the page you want the applications to appear on (or create a new page).
2. Add the Planning block where you want the list to sit.
3. Set the block's options — see the table below.
4. Save the page, then check it on the public website.

Block option	What it does
Heading	The title shown above the applications (for example, "Local Planning Applications").
Applications per page	How many results to show before pagination kicks in.
Map	Shows the colour-coded overview map above the list.
Status tabs	The filter tabs with per-status counts.
Date range	Lets residents narrow the list to a chosen period.

Reading the statuses

Each application carries a status from the planning authority's feed — for example whether it is awaiting a decision, has been granted, or has been refused. The markers on the map and the filter tabs use the same colours, so a resident can switch between the map and the list and always recognise the same categories.
