Welcome
to Planning and Regulatory Services On-line (PARSOL)
The PARSOL Planning pages are being moved to
the Planning Portal. For the latest information on PARSOL
Planning please visit: www.planningportal.gov.uk/parsol.
The PARSOL (Planning and Regulatory Services Online) National
Project has developed a range of standards, toolkits, specifications,
schemas, systems and software to assist Local Authorities
in building effective and transparent online planning and
regulatory systems.
The products have been developed “by local authorities
for local authorities” , and PARSOL
believes them to be of benefit both to Local Authorities (by
creating improved and more efficient services) and to citizens
and business alike who will benefit directly from faster and
more effective online services.
The project has been run by a consortium of Local Authorities
led by Wandsworth Borough Council and was financed by the
Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. PARSOL has been pleased
to be supported by a range of organisations including the
Planning Portal, RTPI, CIEH, DSA (LABC), Environment Agency,
HSE, IDeA, LACORS, SOCITM, the Planning Inspectorate and the
ODPM e-Planning Programme Board.

In February 2006 the success of the project was recognised
when PARSOL won the RTPI award for "Planning
Process - e-Planning". PARSOL Planning is currently funded
by ODPM to support the delivery of the e-Planning Programme.
In 2005 Wandsworth took ownership of PARSOL Regulatory Services.
The Council has entered into a partnership with Cintra
UK to ensure the continued support and development of
PARSOL products in this area.
The PARSOL products fall into three broad categories as follows:
- Planning Services Central Government funded PARSOL Planning to continue to support the
e-Planning
Programme in 2005/6 and 2007/8, through the development of a range of standards, advice and scripts.
Ownership of PARSOL Planning Products has now passed to the Planning Advisory Service
and Planning Portal.
- Regulatory Services In 2005 Wandsworth Council took ownership of PARSOL Regulatory Services.

range of licences and other applications.
- e-Service Delivery Standards – Ownership
of these products, including standards for Planning, Environmental
Health and Building Control, will be determined in conjunction
with the National e-Service Delivery Standards project –
