Smarter Planning milestone reached
The 200th planning professional achieved Smarter Planning Champion status earlier today.
The Smarter Planning scheme, launched in October 2012, is run by the Planning Portal in partnership with planning professionals and local planning authorities.
The scheme promotes the online submission, receipt and processing of planning applications that meet a set of best-practice guidelines.
Applying these guidelines to the end-to-end planning process helps LPAs process applications more efficiently leading to more timely and consistent planning decisions and improved levels of service for planning professionals.
Smarter Planning Champion status is awarded to participants who demonstrate their commitment by consistently applying the best practice guidelines of the scheme.
If you’re interested in becoming a Smarter Planning Champion you can learn more about the scheme on the Planning Portal and register your interest.

Eventually got thro’, I looked when it came out and we’re already doing what the toolkit suggests – what’s the advantage? or am I missing something, perhaps one of the 200 would step forward and explain the benefits?
