Viewing the Planning Application Detail Overview
You view a summary of the planning application on the Overview page, where you get a snapshot of the information regarding a planning application with links to more detail.
When you access the details for a planning application, you see a summary of the application activity. This information is updated to show the latest activity.
The header of the summary page displays the address of the primary parcel. This information is updated to show the latest activity. For example, when the primary parcel address detail is modified on the Property Information page, the same is automatically updated in the header and in the Overview page.
Only agency staff can update the date the application was received and the description, assign a planner, or withdraw an in-progress application on the Overview page.
This example illustrates the Overview page in the Redwood Experience user interface for a planning application with a balance due. The attention card provides information including a link to pay fees.
