Most local planning authorities are now able to receive an electronic online planning application, using one mechanism or another. Given that the application documentation is available in electronic format, the conduct of the consultation process using online techniques is a logical corollary.

Benefits

Online capability has become a key component of the planning process, as more and more local planning authorities have successfully delivered against the e-Government Agenda, and have become able to comply with the Pendleton Criteria in particular.

Audience

Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.

Learning method

This knowledge builder provides a detailed summary of the background to and the development of online consultation. Additionally a comprehensive range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
