As part of our work to modernise England's planning system we have been collaborating with over 40 organisations to draft new planning application data specifications which will help to revolutionise how planning data is structured and exchanged between local authorities and software providers. Whether you're a planning officer, developer, or technology provider, we’re now seeking wider input to review and refine our baseline specifications to help build a planning system that's truly fit for the 21st century.

Using data design to transform the planning application process: get involved

In order to make the planning applications process smoother and more efficient we need to ensure the right data is available, in the right format. In this post the Data Design team explain how they are now working to develop new data standards and are keen to collaborate with the planning community to create specifications that work for everyone.
