Slider to develop digital service for Neighbourhood Planning
May 7th, 2011Slider Studio has been successful in a highly competitive process to win funding for a new technology feasibility study. The study will explore the commercial potential for a new digital service designed to enable local authorities support community-led planning and specifically Neighbourhood Planning processes as described in the localism bill. Working with regional architecture centres and local authorities, predominantly in the Midlands, we will develop ideas for web-based services that support the production, publication and determination of Neighbourhood Plans by referendum. Through our research we will hold a series of participatory workshops with different stakeholders in the neighbourhood planning landscape, including local authority planners, professional consultants and community groups. We will also investigate integrations of existing methods and tools (including Sticky World) in order to illustrate the potential for a comprehensive communication platform which can support the face to face activity and consultation events on the ground, whilst facilitating web-based, 24/7 collaboration and communication with all stakeholders within a neighbourhood.
