These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.

Answering them wil help us learn more about the Supplementary plans consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.

  • Do we understand the lifecycle of a Supplementary plans?

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

  • Where will or should the data be used?

  • Development plans

  • Who are the statutory consultees for Supplementary plans?

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

    Planning officers, planning consultants, developers

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

Having supplementary plans on the platform will be useful in planning terms as it will increase the ease of accessing development plan documents.

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

    Planning officers, planning consultants, developers

  • What are some potential uses of Supplementary plans data?

  • What's the value of adding Supplementary plans data to the platform?

  • From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Supplementary plans data available?
