improve digital planning software</h2>
<p>The Department for Levelling Up, and Housing Communities (DLUHC) is
seeking Expressions of Interest from councils who want to improve
their planning software, so that it supports the vision set out in
the <a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/planning-for-the-future">Planning
for the Future White Paper</a>.</p>
<p>New partner councils should be committed to a vision for planning
software that is accessible, interoperable, and facilitates the
effective use of data to improve the efficiency and transparency of
planning services.</p>
<p>Councils are invited to submit applications under one of two
Expressions of Interest:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>The RIPA/BOPS EOI:</strong> Up to £400,000 of funding each
is available for circa 5 new councils to join the project team to
design and begin implementing the <a
