Transforming Places Together: Scotland's Digital Strategy for Planning

We're delighted to announce that this morning Kevin Stewart MSP, Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning launched Transforming Places Together - Scotland's Digital Strategy for Planning.

Transforming Places Together sets out a vision for Scotland to have a world leading digital planning system that helps connect people with their places to deliver a prosperous, green and fair country and a framework to achieve whole-system digital transformation of planning over the next 5 years. A comprehensive approach to transformation where new technology, data and innovation sit alongside wider change priorities including culture, skills and process change. This Strategy is supported by a funding commitment of £35m to deliver the transformation.  This is a huge step forward towards a future-proofed planning system with technology and data at its heart.
