The ODPM has announced it is establishing an integrated programme to bring together a whole raft of projects and initiatives, including the Planning Inspectorate’s Planning Portal, designed to drive forward the e-planning agenda. In the forefront of progress now is the government-funded Planning and Regulatory Services Online national project (PARSOL), one of the 20 or so projects for local e-government funded by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. PARSOL aims to help all councils build online access to planning applications at all stages of the planning process as well as advice and answers to questions about planning.
