Engaging the public on planning policy: raising the bar with AI

Public engagement is not only essential to local planning but also a legal imperative. Yet, it’s not always easy to get right. As a planning authority, you need to break down complex issues into accessible and engaging discussions for residents.
‍
Your work doesn’t end here, though. Once the feedback is collected, sifting through it to accurately report to the planning inspectorate requires significant time and effort.
‍
In recent years, there has been a push from the government to invest in digital solutions that facilitate engagement in the local planning process, notably through the Proptech engagement fund. CitizenLab is one of the players that has used this opportunity to better understand the challenges local planning authorities face and contribute to shaping solutions that can be adopted across the country.
