• House building: a key indicator of economic health

  Jack Ricketts, Senior Product Manager, MadeTech

  Tracking individual home developments and integrating building control information to provide accurate and reliable real-time data on house building is challenging, especially when it comes to the private sector and RBCAs. But by integrating directly with the Planning Portal and providing a simple interface for developers and RBCAs, it is possible to enable real time, automated reporting, without disrupting a council’s existing IT systems. This project, in association with Barnet, Camden, Reading and the Planning Portal, showcases how an API integration between a planning authority and the Planning Portal can bring together planning and building control data to seamlessly monitor housing delivery information.
