We have co-designed each feature in PlaceMaker based on our team's experience as planners, and the needs of the local authority planners we work with across the country.
By creating scalable solutions across all PlaceMaker councils, we can make sure we're moving the planning system forward as a whole. We work exclusively with the public sector and are committed to empowering the people who shape the places around us through the Local Plan process.
Combine your council-owned data sets with public data to assess every site in your area and test development scenarios. Identify suitable sites from across your local authority through proactive identification, automated suitability and capacity analysis and a fully digital call for sites process.
Using a drag-and-drop document builder you can create accessible, engaging and mobile-friendly consultations and reports, with embedded questions, maps and visualisations.
Collect representations from any source and manage them in one place. Tag reps with sites, topics and sentiment. Split longer multi-topic reps and assign to colleagues to streamline collaboration and save officer time.
