Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

• Who asked for 'Protected views' data?

• What is the driver for the request?

• Which 2024 focus area does the request support?

Screen

• What is the 'Protected views' consideration?

• Is there legislation that defines 'Protected views'?

• Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Protected views'?

• Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

• Is the Protected views a trigger?

• Is the Protected views something to consult during plan making?

• Is there any Protected views data already available?

• Do we think the data should come from a single source?

• Will a data standard be required?

Research

• Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

• Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Protected views? How do we expect them to use Protected views?

• What are the planning needs for this data?

• Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Protected views data?

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.
