Application service

By only asking questions relevant to their project, our planning data services make it simpler for residents and planning agents to find out what type of planning permissions you can apply for.

Aim

By only asking questions relevant to their project, our planning data services make it simpler for residents and planning agents to request a Lawful Development Certificate. The service can be integrated with back office systems.

Description

Our planning data services simplify the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) legislation, and only requests information relevant to the project. When answering questions about their project, residents and planning agents are shown rules related to permitted development rights.

Notable key features:

  • Everything ODP planning technology services do
  • Document upload requests come with clear guidance to reduce invalid applications
  • Accepts payments and allows applicants to save and return to a live application
  • Planning teams can manage their own services, allowing quick updates when legislation changes.

Technical information

Our planning technology and planning data services are built on PlanX so officers can use a content management editor to collaboratively write and maintain services.

PlanX services are browser-based and users access them via your council website. Read full technical specifications.

Automated planning constraints checks are made by querying the National Planning Data Platform. The platform pulls through standardised data from council Geographic Information Systems (GIS), so that users know they are seeing reliable and assured data relevant to their property.

Using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), applications come through to our own Assessment Service, and to other existing back office planning systems.
