What are batch payments for planning applications?

Designed to benefit both agents and their finance departments, the batch payment facility allows organisations to pay for multiple planning applications in a single transaction.

Every organisation that wishes to make batch payments must have all Planning Portal accounts configured by our team in order to enable the function.

As part of the setup, the organisation will be assigned dedicated bank account details to make batch payments to.

Please note: Batch payments can only be made by prior agreement. Please do not pay for multiple applications in a single payment unless you have a prior agreement with us and account configuration by our team, without this there will be a significant delay in applications being processed. 


To request for batch payments to be configured for your organisation, email support@planningportal.co.uk1
