  1. The PlanningAuthority PerspectiveUnifi Scotland : 9 Nov 2009 David Leslie

  2. contents • Linking and sharing • Satisfying the citizen • Improving efficiency • Modernising Planning • The future

  3. Property Housing Management Management CAG and Corporat Title Deed Stock Spatial data Boundaries e Condition Ownership Details Financial Accounts Valuation Business Locations Asset Plans / Inventories Drawings Photographs Linking and sharing Key themes of Land and Property systems in the Council

  4. Transformation not automation: ICT is a catalyst in the modernisation agenda for local government the potential of e-government will not be realised without organisational change multi-dimensional benefits need to be defined to address efficiency and effectiveness Linking and sharing- Planning and Building Standards Project

  5. Linking and sharing- Planning and Building Standards Project • Delivery to date: • corporate approach to land and property data including publish once/use many approach e.g. planning constraints data • successful CAG operation for 6 years • standardisation of property data including all spatial and metadata data e.g. CAG and metadata conform to British Standards • business re-engineering to ensure efficient dynamic integration e.g. CAG integration with Planning Portal, PECs, Development Management, Building Standards, Licensing, CEC websites etc

  6. Satisfying the citizen More inclusive engagement in the planning system

  7. Satisfying the citizen Use of Portal proportional to issues generating engagement 2008-09

  8. Improving efficiency • Add graph of e-applications 2006-09 showing growth

  9. Improving efficiency • business process mapping • extension of use of the CAG including integration with LVJB and other parts of CEC • continual improvement of CAG to provide higher levels of accuracy, improved performance and quicker throughput • finalisation of spatial metadata and public metadata tool • introduction of external CAG-based data access tools ('find my nearest', local facilities, service delivery and other local information)

  10. Improving efficiency Key drivers: • INSPIRE Directive and coming Statutory Instrument • One Scotland One Geography (Scottish GI Strategy) • International standards for data interoperability (Open Geospatial Consortium) • Business efficiency and cost reduction • Joined up working and shared services

  11. Modernising Planning • Efficient: up to date development plans to be at the heart of an efficient system that provides certainty for users and local people • Inclusive: local people to be more involved in the decisions that shape the development of their communities • Fit for purpose: with a clear sense of priorities, and to address different issues in different ways • Sustainable: development to contribute to economic growth that is sustainable. Planning will deliver sustainable development ensuring development is in the right place, and of, the right quality

  12. Efficient Neighbour Notification? • Requirement transferred to the Planning Authority • Land which is conterminous with or within 20m of the boundary of the land for which the development is proposed

  13. e-fficient planning applications • E-applications submitted since 2004 = 1735 • E-applications submitted this year to date > 500 (total for 2008 = 472) • % of all applications submitted this year overall = 16% • % in Aug and Sept = 22%

  14. e-applications - benefits • Submission process simpler than ever (no neighbour notification) • Facility available 24/7 – easier to meet deadlines • Not bound by Council office opening hours • Speed in sending to planning authority • Savings in paper, printing, packaging & postage • Automatic allocation to cases – no lost files • Valid submissions reach case officers more quickly • Easy to submit amended information • Monitor progress on-line – agent, applicant, community • Greater efficiencies in validation, processing and case management by the Council

  15. Modernising Planning

  16. Modernising Planning

  17. The future • We are joined-up • We are e-enabled • We maintain high data standards • Public access is the norm Challenges: • Self-funding? • Self-sustainable?

  18. Discussion
