Many comments were made on the quality of the space.
This makes codification easier.At the other end of the scale, work for a case study was also undertaken on an example development of 50 flats, mapping it against the common themes that run through planning applications.
These included things such as names, addresses and locations, although specifics weren’t included as the work was still pre proof of concept..The Benefits of Digitising Planning.Digitising planning is an emerging technology and way of working, and it’s hoped that learnings will be shared as things develop in different areas of the world.
While we’ll never get rid of the subjective element of planning, and certainly not the need for people, digitising planning could help reduce administrative burden, freeing up time for planners to do the more valuable, judgement based planning work and enabling us to make better, and more holistic, sets of decisions.. Another benefit it’s hoped will arise from digitising the planning system is to make planning more accessible to members of the public.Being able to engage with and interpret a 3D model is much more helpful to people than being presented with unrealistic CGI imagery depicting permanent sunshine and few cars.
Currently, trust in the planning system is at a low.
If we can help people feel more in control of what they’re being consulted on, and give them a better sense of what a development will really look like, it should help to alleviate a lot of concern.. At present, ten Pathfinder projects are being undertaken by various local authorities.The foundation of our approach to sustainability is based on using lean, passive design methods.
It’s only after passive design strategies are considered that we look at efficient equipment selections, renewable technology and low/zero carbon technology.In other words, when we look towards sustainable design, the focus on sustainable architecture must come before the focus on sustainable services..
Operational carbon - industry benchmarks.The second part of the net-zero carbon equation is the operational carbon, for which there are currently fewer benchmarks.
