Planning Expert System


SCDC Planning Expert System Disclaimer

The system is designed to give you a definitive answer based on the information you have given. However, the system is NOT intended to give you a formal determination i.e. a Lawful Development Certificate

Recent enhancements to the system include new Microgeneration scripts and live gazetteer address search for both South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City. An example of GIS partnership working in action.
We welcome any comments you may have on any aspect of the system.
