Develops national planning e-consultation cloud
IDOX plc (AIM: IDOX, 'IDOX' or the 'Company'), a leading
independent supplier of software and services to the UK public
sector and other markets, is developing a national e-consultation
cloud that will allow all planning process stakeholders to complete
both internal and external consultations online.
IDOX's national Consultee Cloud will notify consultees of
relevant planning applications and allow viewing of application
details and creation of responses to planning applications - all
returned electronically to the local planning authority. The
service will be launched in June and go fully live in September,
replacing the Government-run e-consultation hub that was closed
last December. Commitment or expressions of interest have already
been received from over 75% of statutory consultee bodies including
English Heritage, Sport England and The Society for the Protection
of Ancient Buildings.
The Consultee Cloud builds on the Company's extensive
relationships with local planning authorities. More than 250
planning departments use IDOX software and around 100 local
authorities use IDOX Consultee Access software, which speeds up and
simplifies the local authority planning consultation process,
integrates with IDOX Public Access and back-office planning
products and provides an effective engagement channel for the
planning process.
Richard Kellett-Clarke, CEO of IDOX, said:
"Planning is our core business and we are convinced there are
significant business efficiencies and savings to be gained from
providing an automated consultation solution, compared with the
manual or basic electronic processes currently operated by many
stakeholders. The myriad different approaches to consultation can
make life very difficult, especially for smaller consultees. We are
committed to encouraging further take-up of the Consultee Cloud and
are working with local authorities and consultees to deliver the
full benefits of e-planning."
