Ah yes, uploading would be better, you're right. And having just checked and tried to c&P the blob: URL, it doesn't work any more, so whatever it is that it linked to must have expired. C&ping worked fine last night.
Also, Microcosm seems to have inserted '%C2%AD' into the URL when I c&p it, but it doesn't work with this removed, either.
Planning portals are often odd--this one doesn't seem to allow direct links to planning documents. I have no idea why. It also generates these documents as 'document.pdf', so you have to rename them all the time, which is a pain.
I'll navigate back to them to upload them and will remove the bonkers URLs.

The app is shit :shrug
That is standard URL encoding and should break nothing https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP the characters you cite represent UTF-8 whitespace which is not valid in a URL and must be encoded.

it probably means that their website has composed the object dynamically within the client using JavaScript, and so the file actually doesn't exist... you need to link the page you can link, and then instructions to find the file... or download from there (as the browser will have it composed) and then upload to here
