You will always be able to access your applications on the Planning Portal. However, after two years you will no longer be able to download or amend your submitted applications. You will also still be able to ‘copy’ a submitted application after two years for reuse as a new ‘draft’ application. However, this copy will only include the forms and not any supporting documents from the original application. Applications can be accessed by our Service Desk and can be provided if requested (support@planningportal.gsi.gov.uk).
