Digital planning guidance, toolkits and case studies
Guidance, practical resources and case studies showing how local planning authorities are using digital tools to support planning activities.
Digital tools can help local planning authorities improve community engagement, identify potential development sites and make planning processes more efficient.
This collection brings together guidance, toolkits, practical resources and case studies on using digital tools in planning. Use it to learn from other local planning authorities and explore approaches that could support your work.
This collection does not replace statutory planning guidance or requirements. Local planning authorities do not have to use any of the digital tools or external suppliers featured in or linked to from the collection.
The government does not endorse any organisation, product or service featured in or linked to from the collection.
New guidance and case studies will be added over time. Help us improve this collection by completing our short feedback form.
