1. Statutory Notice Board QR

A QR on the required construction site notice board links to the full planning application: drawings, structural calculations, drainage reports, and environmental assessments.

2. Inspector Access

Building control and planning inspectors scan the site notice QR to confirm the current approved documents, any approved variations, and the inspection history.

3. Neighbour Information

Neighbouring properties scan to read the application, understand the impact on their property, and access the planning authority's comment submission system.

4. Approved Document Versions

Use a URL structure that always serves the current approved version, not a static snapshot. Approved amendments automatically replace superseded drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a QR on a construction site notice board legally required?

Currently not statutory in most jurisdictions. It is best practice and increasingly expected. Check current planning notice regulations in your country.

Can a QR replace the posted site notice entirely?

No. Physical posted notices are a statutory requirement in most jurisdictions. QR provides access to the full application linked from the required notice.
