James Perry

Director, Harper Perry

Worcester is divided by canals, rivers, and motorways – and so on. In the past, the last planning consultant doing this missed out on those disconnections. The shortfall in the past was measured as a shortfall that was not covered. PlaceChangers enabled a complicated analysis in an easy and web-based interface. It showed us that the new play sites are valuable and would be maintained.

Alex Franklin

Senior Planner, Hedley Planning

The combination of the criteria, place evidence, ability to link locations helped us to prepare a well-evidenced impact statement much faster. We also appreciated that the platform provided a ready made structure to follow. The resulting output filled validation requirements.

Data enrichments

Enhance Site Analysis with Comprehensive Contextual Data

Use the PlaceChangers Place Analysis Tool to efficiently evaluate local assets, amenities, and spatial data. 

site context features


Incorporate information from sources like Ordnance Survey and Open Street Maps to inform planning proposals.

  • Open space provision (Ordnance Survey)
  • Public transport (NAPTAN)
  • Retail, healthcare, and education coverage

Social infrastructure provision

Perform initial assessments of social infrastructure

Anticipate constraints in your planning projects by evaluating local social infrastructure capacity, including GPs, schools, and community spaces.


Understand the capacity of local social infrastructure, such as GPs, schools, and community spaces, to anticipate constraints in your planning projects.

  • GP and school capacity
  • Dentists and community spaces
  • Open space access

Socio demographics

Compare Local Socio-Demographics with Ease

Tailor your planning proposals to the local population by generating benchmarked insights on demographics, health conditions, and travel behaviour.


Generate benchmarked insights on local people, demographics, health issues, and more. Identify local challenges in advance to ensure a smoother development process.

  • Local residents' demographics
  • Health conditions influence by the built environment (obesity, mental wellbeing, etc).  
  • Travel behaviour

Public health

Identify and consider local health challenges

Health impact assessments are easier with place-based analysis that highlights key health indicators linked to local infrastructure.


Identify potential risks and optimise your proposals based on the health challenges faced by the local population.

  • Health conditions influence by the built environment (obesity, mental wellbeing, etc).
  •  Life expectancy and satisfaction
  • Crime and safety data

Existing housing

Evaluate Local Housing Provisions Using Location Data

Gain a detailed understanding of existing housing down to the property level allowing you to stay connected to local housing requirements.


By visualising existing housing down to property level, you can identify patterns and potential issues, such as overcrowding, underutilization, or lack of diversity, that may have gone unnoticed. This information can help you make better-informed decisions and tailor your proposals to better meet the needs of the community.

  • Building age, type, and energy efficiency
  • Number of habitable rooms and tenures
  • Housing affordability and rental prices

20 minute neighbourhood

Pinpoint Walkability Gaps and Optimise Access with Pedshed Tools

Use advanced spatial analysis to identify gaps in provision using walking-distance pedsheds — no GIS expertise required!


Plan for improved quality of life by analysing walkability and coverage of local amenities. Visualise walkable access to parks, healthcare, schools, and public transport, and make decisions that improve access for residents without requiring GIS expertise.

  • 5-minute, 15-minute, and 20-minute walkability maps
  • Access to parks, schools, healthcare, and public transport
  • Export walkability coverage as vector images for further use
