The planning-publicity workflow
Save the planning facts before an assisted jurisdiction and route check.
Every planning route is draft-first because the form does not yet capture an England jurisdiction confirmation. The draft appears in Applications and its source stays in Documents, but no artwork, quote, publication booking or payment is created before assisted review.
How this service works
What Gazetted helps you do from source document to organised record
Build or upload
Enter or extract the applicant, site, application reference, development and representation details.
Check the route
Gazetted flags missing draft fields, but does not release publication artwork before jurisdiction, statutory publicity and responsible-authority checks.
Request assisted review
Save the draft and contact Gazetted. If the route is accepted, the team confirms the applicable artwork, newspaper and price before placement.
Track the publicity work
After route acceptance, keep site-display, representation and decision tasks in Applications, with source files, artwork and publisher evidence in Documents.
Gazetted prompts for the details this workflow needs and flags missing required fields. You remain responsible for the application, the selected publication route and any legal or professional review.
Exact portal example — live tasks adapt to the subtype and route.
The legal requirement
Newspaper publicity is required under Article 15 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (DMPO 2015) and the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 for EIA development. Certain categories of planning application must be publicised by notice in a local newspaper circulating in the area of the proposed development.
This includes major developments, applications that depart from the development plan, applications affecting listed buildings or conservation areas, and proposals affecting public rights of way.
The local planning authority normally controls the statutory publicity route. Applicants and agents can still keep the newspaper leg moving where the LPA requests or accepts direct arrangement.
Key points
- Also required for applications affecting listed buildings and conservation areas
- Required for major developments and departures from the development plan where the relevant planning-publicity route applies
- Covers applications affecting listed buildings (PLBCAA 1990 s.67), applications affecting conservation areas (PLBCAA 1990 s.73), and Article 4 direction making and confirmation (GPDO 2015 SI 2015/596 Sch 3)
- Article 4 direction notices are placed by the local planning authority (LPA), not by individual applicants. If you are a property professional affected by an Article 4 direction in your area, look for the LPA's published notice in your local newspaper.
- Must be published in a newspaper circulating in the area of the development site
- Publication certificate provides evidence of compliance
