Digital Strategy for Planning - preparing for launch The Digital Strategy for Planning is coming soon. This strategy will set out our goals to digitally transform planning in Scotland over an ambitious 5-year programme which will launch in Spring 2021. It will highlight both our 5-year goals and our early actions, prioritised through the stakeholder engagement that we've undertaken so far and findings from the challenges that planning has faced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In advance of the launch, to find out more about how we have reached this point please have a look at the material we have published on Transformingplanning.scot. Here you will find: our User Research findings and how these have been used to form a basis for the goals of the programme, case studies showing examples of the best practice already occurring across the planning sector in Scotland, existing and emerging technology trends with the potential to be used in planning through our Horizon Scanning work, and how COVID-19 has impacted planning and how the lessons learned have shaped our key actions moving forward.The Transformingplanning.scot website also contains information on other parts of our planning reform programme as well as progress towards publication of National Planning Framework 4. Please keep checking back in as we continue to update the content over the coming weeks in the lead up to launch of the Digital Strategy for Planning.
