Abstract

This RTPI research briefing explores the current capacity of Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) in Wales to engage with digital planning, with the broader aim of easing resource pressures and improving planning outcomes. While digital technologies have become embedded in many aspects of planning practice, the planning system in Wales has not undergone the same level of digital transformation seen in England and Scotland. This research addresses a critical gap in understanding how digital planning is currently used in Wales, what barriers exist, and what opportunities could be realised through more strategic and coordinated digital reform.
