How to: upload evidence to the Planning Portal

Written by Oliver Lewis

Uploading the material you have produced is super simple!

Step 1: Once you have completed your assessment, click Download Evidence Pack. You will find this on the main page.

Your evidence pack will be emailed to you. You can download the pack as a single PDF document.

Step 2: Complete the relevant Biodiversity Net Gain questions within your Planning Portal application. If you're not sure what to upload, press How to submit this to the Planning Portal, and all the details are set out. If you want a strong justification, press the Get Justification button.

Step 3: On the Planning Portal, go to the Application Overview page. Select Add plans and documents.

Step 4: Drag the downloaded PDF onto the blue box.

Step 5: When asked to select the document type, choose Biodiversity Statement from the drop-down list.

That’s it — your evidence pack will now be attached to your planning application.
