The Local Plan development process is a convoluted and time consuming one, challenges we are working to overcome. By transforming the traditional approach into an automated algorithm designed specifically, our clients have access to unprecedented quantities of data instantly. Using data from a variety of sources, including a Local Authorities’ own database, Ordnance Survey and HM Land Registry. The increased automation allows planners to plan more efficiently and effectively, reducing the time and effort required to produce local plans, meaning they stay current, up-to date and relevant.
PlaceMaker is able to help clients with site identification and assessment, the call for sites procedure, and urban capacity studies. These new, innovative methods allow local authorities to know they have ‘left no stone unturned’ and to have a comprehensive and dynamic grasp of the land opportunities in their area. Urban Intelligence primarily works with planning teams within local authorities throughout England, having already completed projects with Hounslow and Birmingham City Council to name a few. We have also worked with Transport for London (TFL), the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Chesterfield Borough Council, and Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council.
We are able to support local authorities at any stage of their local plan cycle, with the ability to make a significant impact almost immediately. We have a number of subscription options available to suit you.
