Searching for Building Control Applications

There are a number of ways to search and retrieve Application information. The main way is through the 'Application' search option in the menu bar. In addition, Application details may be selected from a map as well as from within the 'related information' section of the PublicAccess Property and Warrant or Relaxation detail sections.

Application Search

Using the 'Application Search' option, you may search and retrieve Application information using the Application Reference or by defining a custom built search.

Application Reference - If you have a unique Application Reference, you can search using the Application Reference Search tool. Enter in at least the first four characters of the unique Application Reference. If possible, always include the full Reference and remember to enter all slashes (/). The Application Reference may look something similar to this: 92/00566/REC.

Note that a partial Application Reference may be entered where the full Reference is not known. Though a minimum of four characters are required.

Customised Application Search - Use the Application Details and Dates section of the Warrant Application Search form to specify specific search parameters and filter Applications. This facility provides the option to filter Applications using a combination of parameters.

If searching by Date Application Received or Validated, entering a second date in the to field will search for applications in the range of dates specified.  A single date in the 'from' field will search for Applications of that date only.  You can enter dates by typing them in the format DD/MM/YYYY, or by clicking the button with the Calendar icon to select a date. Double clicking in any date field will automatically enter today's date.

When you have specified the required variables, click the Search button to run the search. All associated Warrant or Relaxation Application records (depending on type of search run) will be returned in a list. From here, select to view Warrant or Relaxation Application details as appropriate.

Weekly List of Applications

The current weekly list of Warrant Applications declared valid or decided on by the Local Authority can be selected and viewed in PublicAccess. Weekly lists up to eight weeks old are available.

Select the Weekly List option from the PublicAccess menu bar, then choose the week and list type before clicking the View List button to continue. From here, select the View Application Details button to view the details of the selected application.
