The system provides a live feed of all planning applications across London, drawing data both from back-office systems and the application submission itself. This enables a complete, real-time picture of housing delivery &#8211; from initial submission through to completion. In this session, we\u2019ll share how we built the platform, managed collaboration across 35 local planning authorities and multiple suppliers, and the key challenges we faced along the way. We\u2019ll also discuss lessons learned, our priorities for improving the system, and explore the opportunities this creates for more consistent, transparent, and data-driven planning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How the Planning London Datahub works<\/li>\n<li>Insights into our data on planning applications<\/li>\n<li>Our plans for better monitoring of development<\/li>\n<li>Why this platform is crucial to the future of digital planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1490","seminar","type-seminar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"start_time":"2026-04-22 13:30:00","end_time":"2026-04-22 14:00:00","theatre":635,"speakers":[394],"businesses":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v26.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Planning Datahub - London\u2019s Digital Twin of the Planning System and How We Monitor Developments - Data Decoded LDN<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/datadecoded.com\/ldn\/seminars\/planning-datahub-londons-digital-twin-of-the-planning-system-and-how-we-monitor-developments\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Planning Datahub - London\u2019s Digital Twin of the Planning System and How We Monitor Developments\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Planning London Datahub was launched in 2020 to shift planning from documents to digital.
