Research

Stages

These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.

Answering them wil help us learn more about the Watercourses 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 Watercourses?
Do we understand how the data is created/produced?
Where will or should the data be used?
What other planning considerations does it interact with?
- Local plans - Watercourses are referenced regularly in local plans, so we think that this consideration feeds into the process of creating a local plan.
Who are the statutory consultees for Watercourses?
Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Watercourses? How do we expect them to use Watercourses?
What are the planning needs for this data?
Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Watercourses data?
What are some potential uses of Watercourses data?
What's the value of adding Watercourses data to the platform?
From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Watercourses data available?
