The new IT System for Planning went live on 5^th December 2022. Applicants, agents – and any third parties who may have an interest in a particular application – are asked to note that under the new IT System the functionality of the system has changed and language/terminology used on the system is different to that used under the old system. In particular, it should be noted that unlike the old IT system, the status of an application on the new IT system will no longer change when the application has been placed on a delegated list. Therefore, the onus is on applicants, agents and any third parties who may have an interest in a particular application to check the weekly delegated lists which appear on the Council’s website every Thursday evening to determine if an application has been placed on the delegated list at www.armaghbanbridgecraigavon.gov.uk/resident/planning-applications-residents/

Members of the public should also note there are a number of identified technical issues with the new system. The performance of the system will continue to be monitored as part of the normal service management arrangements and the Council is working closely with the stakeholders including the suppliers to resolve the outstanding issues. Any issues of concern regarding the new planning IT system should be forwarded to
