AI Trials to Speed Up Planning Checks
The government plans to automate the planning system to reduce delays by using trained AI models to approve developer submissions online.
A typical housing development application currently requires 4,000 pages of documentation and can take up to 18 months to be approved.
- Developers will send photo evidence to authorities online for approval.
- A new online map of underground cables and pipes will help planning officials and builders avoid delays and costly damage.
The goal is to slash approval times by taking checks out of human hands and giving them to new AI systems.
