Local plans, public engagement and the drive towards digital planning are here to stay whatever the policy context. But how do forward-thinking Local Planning Authorities envisage the next generation of a digital planning system?
Whatever the situation in Whitehall, three things are certain for planners and the system in which they operate.
- Local plans are here to stay and form the bedrock of a 21st century planning system.
- Public engagement and consultation are vital parts of that process and strike to the heart of democracy.
- Underpinning both of them will be a relentless drive of digital planning.
In this White Paper, we look at the policy landscape behind local plans, why only around 40% of English planning authorities have an up-to-date plan in place, and the role of digital planning.
The paper discusses:
- The ever-changing policy landscape of local plan-making
- Obstacles confronting local plans
- The opportunity for digital planning
- Engaging the community
- The next generation of digital planning
