Warwick District Council to trial new interactive map technology to speed up planning applications
New technology designed to make planning applications easier to access is to be trialled at Warwick District Council.
WDC is one of 10 local areas to share a £1.1m fund to test proposed reforms.
Changes were proposed in an August 2020 White Paper Bill on planning.
The trial will see planning applications placed on an interactive, annotated online map, moving away from long text documents.
The map should also enable planners to understand what land has already been designated for, as well as what policies are relevant in a given area.
The new system is hoped to increase engagement and speed up the planning process. Warwick District Council is currently advising that applications are running three months behind schedule.
The areas involved are:
- Newcastle City Council and Gateshead Council
- Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Warwick District Council
- Plymouth City Council, South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council
- Dacorum Borough Council
- Broxbourne Borough Council
- Birmingham City Council
- East Suffolk Council
- London Borough Hounslow
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
- Ashford Borough Council
