Durham County Council Choose SNAP!

Resolution is pleased to announce that Durham County Council will shortly be enabled with a SNAP! online account which will bring together the authorities of:

• Chester-Le-Street District Council
• Derwentside District Council
• Durham City Council
• Easington District Council
• Sedgefield Borough Council
• Teesdale District Council
• Wear Valley District Council

Durham County Council is the final authority in the first wave of unitary authorities to be set up on Submit-a-Plan.

“The decision to move to SNAP! was clear as it will enable our multiple area offices within the new unitary to unite by providing a solid foundation for processing electronic Building Control applications. This approach fits squarely with the services commitment to delivering exemplary standards of customer care and making the best use of resources to deliver cost effective services to customers.

The fact that SNAP! is externally web hosted means that we have a completely flexible solution that is not dependent on internal IT resources or tied to a specific office.”

Steve Reed, Area Manager, Durham County Council
