In the latest figures released by the department of communities and local government, Dudley Council received more than 60 per cent of planning applications online in the second quarter of 2009/10.
The fugure represents an increase of more than 30 per cent compared to the previous six months.

This made Dudley the number one authority in the Midlands for receiving the most applications online for this period and second overall in the country.
Councillor Les Jones, deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for regeneration, said: “The increase in applications are no doubt due to a number of improvements such as the ability to pay online, the option to manage applications online and the need to no longer supply multiple copies of applications and supporting documents."
Dudley Council’s online planning service is also up for an award at the national e-governance awards later this month.
