Advanced warning – planning website upgrade
The planning website will not be available on 23rd to 24th June
How will the updates affect you?
The pages will be unavailable to public users on these days.
During this time, no planning documents will be available. However, you can still comment on applications by emailing DevelopmentManagement@DOVER.GOV.UK. We can also provide copies of applications via this email address.
We hope this doesn't cause any inconvenience.
Why are these outages necessary?
We need to update the planning systems to ensure they are up-to-date, supported and secure.
The rising cost of living is affecting everybody in different ways. Here at Dover District Council, our cost-of-living plan will set out how we plan to support those most impacted, as well as those who have not faced financial challenges before. Please see our cost of living page for further support.
Dover District Council has received funding from Kent County Council to support households who would otherwise struggle to buy food or pay essential utility bills or meet other essential living costs, through the Household Support Fund.
