Cadcorp Call for Sites
Streamline the
planning process
for planning departments, landowners, and developers
Cadcorp Call for Sites is a digital site submission application for accelerating site assessment analysis. The package includes a web map with Ordnance Survey® (OS) background mapping, a GIS database and document storage. It offers numerous integration options and is deployed as a cloud hosted service, allowing councils to onboard quickly and easily.
The application allows landowners, developers, agents, and site promoters to suggest sites considered to have the potential for future sustainable development. This can include sites for housing and employment, community facilities, habitat creation and biodiversity enhancement, and infrastructure.
The interface
Transform how residents, applicants and planning professionals engage with the planning system
The Call for Sites application simplifies the site allocation process by allowing site proposals to be submitted online.
The submission is started by selecting or drawing an area on a web map or by uploading a GIS file. Site details are inputted in an application form, which can be sent electronically with supporting documentation.
The application
Better equip
planning teams
Once a site has been submitted, the planning department will receive a notification. Submissions are recorded in a database and can be viewed and interrogated by a GIS. Using existing geospatial data, the planning team can assess the suitability of the land use change.
Functionality includes visualising data, document storage and viewing.
Standardised reporting
Support faster and more transparent planning decisions
Results can be generated into a standardised PDF report with customisable branding, and a map displaying the search item, its surrounding area, and site information. This report can be used to inform planning officers, public officials, and other stakeholders of the potential impacts of a site allocation and its viability.
A summary can also be created for public viewing, enhancing transparency in the planning decision process.
The Cadcorp Call for Sites application has saved us on average, 6 hours in staff time per site submitted.
