Geospatially surface your plans and policies

Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping has become an essential tool for Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) to manage their consultation and geospatial data. With the advent of modern technology, it is now possible to deliver an interactive mapping experience by surfacing live corporate GIS data. This approach allows consultees to browse, search, and filter geospatially, making it easy to find relevant information, policies, regulations and updates specific to their location.

One significant advantage of GIS mapping within Objective Keyplan is the ability to customise the map view. Consultees can choose specific areas and tailor their map view, allowing LPAs to gather community data effectively. By allowing pin drops and specifying the boundaries of a site, it becomes easy to encourage feedback from residents, understand their concerns and address issues relevant to their area.

Keeping the community up to date is another critical feature of GIS mapping. By giving the community the option to subscribe to a location, your local authority can provide notifications when new or updated information relevant to their location is released. This approach ensures that the community is kept informed about changes that may affect them, making it easier to address concerns or questions from residents.


An interactive mapping experience

The benefits of GIS mapping are numerous and include:

  1. Improved data visualisation: GIS mapping makes it easier to analyse and visualise geospatial data, providing a better understanding of the information.
  2. Customisable map views: Consultees can choose specific areas and tailor their map view, making it easier to gather community data effectively.
  3. Increased community engagement: GIS mapping allows for feedback from residents, encourages participation and helps organisations address community concerns.
  4. Timely information dissemination: By giving the community the option to subscribe to a location, LPAs can keep the community up to date on changes that may affect them.
