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.
