UNI-form Planning:
Manage the planning workload with ease

If you're looking to streamline your planning department's processes, enhance data accuracy and make better use of time and resources, UNI-form Planning has all the answers. It can also set you on the right track towards fulfilling e-planning targets.

How UNI-form Planning can help

Your planning department will be able to:

Choose from ten interlinked modules to match the planning remit of your local authority.

Capture data once and share information seamlessly, for enhanced accuracy and productivity.

Work with data textually or spatially — whichever is more effective for the task.

Use automated diary functions to improve scheduling.

Generate documents quickly and easily to save time and improve quality of service.

Integrated spatial data for greater accuracy

UNI-form Planning uses integrated spatial data to create a visual interface that gives your planning officers access to map-based property information alongside textual data. This enables them to see and plot location-based data in a visual way that makes it easier to take all required elements into account during the processing of a planning application.

Interworking for enhanced efficiency

You can integrate UNI-form Planning with your CRM system to give both your call-handling agents and planning officers seamless access to information from both systems as they need it. And with automated web publishing through ConsulteeAccess and PublicAccess for UNI-form, statutory consultees and the public can go online to review and comment on planning applications at any time.

You can also actively help citizens cut through the complexity of planning requirements by implementing PublicAccess Expert System. It's an intelligent system that will guide them through the application workflow, capturing demographic and location details of the proposed application. Information provided by the applicant is transferred directly into your UNI-form Planning system, enabling your officers to process applications more efficiently.

Also, because all the UNI-form solutions in use within your local authority are underpinned by a single database of textual and spatial property information, it's easy to share details across teams and departments. There is especially close interworking with UNI-form Building Control, allowing:

Joint creation of planning and building-control records.

Sharing of common information.

Easier monitoring of planning regulations as housing assistance works are carried out.
