Geospatially surface your plans and policies

GIS mapping has become an essential tool for Local Planning Authorities (LPAs). Traditional geotagging is the thing of the past thanks to the advent of modern technology. It's now possible to deliver an interactive mapping experience by surfacing live corporate GIS data. This approach allows consultees to comment, browse, search, and filter geospatially policies and documents.

One significant advantage of GIS mapping within Objective Keyplan is the ability to customise the map view. Consultees can choose specific areas and tailor their map view. Pins, lines and polygons can be drawn capturing GIS data. A crucial step in the Call for Sites process to capture areas and sites for development or redevelopment.  

Keeping the community up to date is another critical feature of GIS mapping. By giving the community the option to subscribe to a location, your local authority can provide notifications when new or updated information relevant to their location is released. Keep your community informed about changes that may affect them.


An interactive mapping experience

The benefits of GIS mapping include:

  1. Improved data visualisation: GIS mapping makes it easier to analyse and visualise geospatial data, providing a better understanding of the information.
  2. Customisable map views: Consultees can choose specific areas and tailor their map view, making it easier to gather community data effectively.
  3. Increased community engagement: GIS mapping allows residents to comment directly, or to drop pins, draw lines or areas.
  4. Real-time data: By allowing the community to subscribe to a location, LPAs can keep the community updated on changes that may affect them.


With Objective Keyplan, it's now possible to deliver an interactive mapping experience by surfacing live corporate GIS data. Integrating spatially to GIS layers allows you to manage your consultation with ease and accuracy. By allowing customisation of the map view, encouraging community engagement, and keeping the community up to date, LPAs can build trust, improve community relations, and make data-driven decisions.
