News and updates

An insightful and witty take on Birmingham City Council's journey in the Open Digital Planning community.

For this month's Show & Tell the spotlight is on PlanX, our go-to content management system for planners.

The DLUHC Digital Planning Programme’s next round of funding will be opening in October 2023. To find out more, please register for the launch event.

We hosted another fantastic Show & Tell this week, with a slight twist in format as it was entirely centred on BOPS and we were able to answer questions in real-time. 

Join us for the next ODP Show & Tell on Wednesday 13 September, 10 - 11 am on Teams. 

A fund for local authorities to help clear backlogs of planning applications and address skills gaps.

Doncaster Council shares why their planning team joined the ODP community and how their new Find out if you need planning permission service has been received.

Take a deep dive into our open-sourced content management system for local planning authorities with Alastair Parvin from Open Systems Lab. 

This month's Show & Tell includes an update of the ODP roadmap, BOPS user research and story mapping and user research insights from PlanX.

Our latest user research report highlights the key findings from usability testing of the 'Find out if you need planning permission' service, with six homeowners.
