Back to Digital Planning Programme Case Studies
It’s reported that just 7% of communities trust their local authority due to communities being unable to see how their feedback is being taken into consideration quickly and easily.
Planning consultations often attract responses from a similar audience, with a larger number of negative responses received compared to those in support of planning proposals.
In 2022 alone, over two million planning objections were made by the public across the UK.
We’ve worked with Birmingham City Council, Leicester City Council, Lambeth Council and Bolsover District Council, to test how the adoption of digital tools like augmented reality, 3D visualisations and gamification models could foster more meaningful community engagement. The below case study also discusses ow to create a more inclusive, transparent, and positive dialogue around planning decisions.
