IDOX wins GBP1.5 million third phase of Scottish ePlanning project
IDOX group (AIM: IDOX), a leading developer and supplier of software solutions
and information services to local government, has won a GBP1.5 million contract
to deliver phase three of the Scottish Government's ePlanning Efficient
Government Project.
IDOX has already delivered, over the past 18 months, the first two phases of a
four-stage, GBP12 million project to modernize Scotland's planning system.
Phase three, worth up to GBP1.5 million over five years, enables 24 Permitted
Public Bodies to make Local Development Planning information immediately
accessible to citizens online through textual and spatial interfaces, and
permits the electronic submission of any representations.
Scotland's investment in the new IDOX system will help to improve access to
development planning information and enhance the public's engagement with the
development planning process.
Richard Kellett-Clarke, IDOX CEO, said:
"Having successfully delivered the aggregation and integration of planning
information into a national planning portal for Scotland, we are delighted to
have been selected to provide phase three, which will further improve the
public's ability to engage with and contribute to the planning process in
Scotland.

About Scotland's ePlanning initiative
Planning systems are central to the Scottish Government's ability to manage the
development of its towns, cities and rural areas and in 2001, the Scottish
ePlanning Group was established to coordinate the use of new technology for
better planning service delivery.
In August 2006, Scotland's ePlanning Programme was formally launched to generate
efficiency savings in the planning process, ensure a step change in ePlanning
Service Delivery and to demonstrate the planning system's embrace of
modernisation.
The partnership is being led by the Scottish Government's Planning division and
includes all 32 Scottish local authorities, the two National Park authorities,
Scottish Government Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals (SEDPEA)
and a number of statutory consultees including Scottish Natural Heritage,
Historic Scotland, Scottish Water, Transport Scotland and Scottish Environmental
Protection Agency.
