Press Release Date: 25th November 2009
Three New Local Authorities Join
Submit-a-Plan
Resolution is pleased to announce that three new Local Authorities have signed up to receive electronic applications through the LABC Submit-a-Plan Portal.
Brighton & Hove City Council , Dover District Council and Torridge District Council are the latest authorities to join the LABC Submit-a-Plan community with the latest SNAP! Lite system.
SNAP! Lite is a low cost, entry level solution which enables Local Authorities to offer their customers a full electronic Building Control application service through the
LABC Submit-a-Plan National Portal.
SNAP! Lite simply notifies Local Authorities of applications submitted electronically and enables them to be downloaded from the DataSpace Live website for processing.
- LABC Submit-a-Plan Electronic Applications
- No Application Size Limit
- Council Web Interface With Application Download
- No Software To Purchase
- No Software To Install
- Low Cost Annual Subscription
If your authority is currently receiving applications via e-mail you will be aware of the issues faced when an application is received, such as incomplete forms, the application being too large for your mailbox and receiving file formats you cannot open. SNAP! Lite simply overcomes these issues.
“When I first heard about SNAP! Lite we were going down the road of developing our own online forms using a 3rd party form development toolkit. This was proving to be time consuming, expensive and required a great deal of involvement with our IT department.
The decision to enable electronic applications through the LABC Submit-a-Plan portal was a no brainer as it provided us with an instant low cost solution. I would recommend that anybody looking at developing their own system should look at this first. ”
Michael Sansom, Building Control Manager
Brighton & Hove City Council
“I would like to thank the Resolution team for their help in the recent purchase of ‘Snap Lite’ for Dover Building Control. The product is easy to use for our customers and a considerable improvement on the arrangements we had previously. I know, I have asked them.
From our own perspective it has made it much easier to manage electronic submissions and track that we have responded. Peace of mind and a better service to customers, great value for less than £700 a year, especially when it is so easy to install.”
Martin Leggatt, Building Control Manager
Dover District Council
“With neighbouring local authorities providing an online submission service through Submit-a-Plan it became apparent that we were losing business. Torridge needed to modernise and provide an online submission service.
The simple answer was to subscribe to SNAP! Lite, as this enabled us to offer our customers an instant online submission service that could handle applications of all sizes. As the solution is web based, there was no software to install, or even purchase, just a low cost annual subscription.
We get notified of applications made, and then simply download them from our DataSpace Live online account, it could not be simpler.”
Ray Webster, Head of Environmental Health, Housing, Planning & Public Protection
Torridge District Council
