Online Plans

Purpose

Recently introduced planning reforms involve the replacement of regional planning guidance with regional spatial strategies and structure plans, unitary development plans and local plans with local development documents. Many of these are now being published on line.

Benefits

This knowledge builder is concerned with the use of the internet to: • facilitate immediate reference to the plans themselves • provide information about preparation processes and timetables • enable increased community participation in the preparation of the plans • give professionals the opportunity to share best practice in the preparation processes of the plans.

Audience

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

Learning method

In reflection of The Government’s ‘E-Planning Programme Blueprint’ this knowledge builder identifies nine separate services that are required to achieve the e-planning ‘vision’. Additionally an extensive list of associated web references is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
