E-PLANNING GROUP

6. This PAN draws on the work of the E-PLANNING Group. The group was formed by the Scottish Executive and planning authorities in 2001. It meets regularly to exchange information on E-PLANNING progress and good practice, resolve common problems and explore software and service options. The group aims to:

• help coordinate the use of new technology in planning service delivery;
• increase the consistency and quality in E-PLANNING service delivery;
• maintain links to related services, such as building standards;
• report to local authority Heads of Planning on E-PLANNING progress; and
• work closely with the Definitive National Addressing (DNA) Scotland project and its planning services theme.
