This equipment is often heavily serviced, so the services take priority; perhaps much more so than in other building types.
If we can help people feel more in control of what they’re being consulted on, and give them a better sense of what a development will really look like, it should help to alleviate a lot of concern.. At present, ten Pathfinder projects are being undertaken by various local authorities.All of them are looking at how to digitise planning policy, and make it more machine readable.
Local plans take years for councils to produce, and are based on evidence which is out of date almost as soon as it’s put into use, and definitely by the time the plan is published years later.Digitising the planning system will help us to start producing policies based on real time evidence.Policies could change over a very short time.
Changes to market conditions, developer contributions, or the cost of land could impact the number, or location, of homes originally desired.Digitising planning would keep things much more reliable and up to date..
There would also be an opportunity to test more ideas before deciding which policy is the right one, and it’s hoped that by digitising the planning system we’ll also be able to do scenario testing.
A brownfield site map could give a developer a much better sense of what they’re likely to get approved, enabling them to tweak their plans before they approach.At a point in each project, we go through the process of defining Chips for that project, in order to develop a Chip library.
This can start with a reference design, or a blank piece of paper.Or we might start with a similar type of project for which we've generated Chips in the past.. Chips can be made at different levels.
A chip is not a module or a piece of equipment, it's a part of a chain.Depending on the problem you're trying to address, you can set the level of the size of the Chip to the level that is appropriate to your analysis.
