On-demand walkthroughs and live webinars covering how to research a UK site, read planning constraint layers, draw and measure, and generate shareable reports.
Every tutorial below is written to be followed step-by-step directly on the map, so you can practise as you go rather than watching passively. New sessions are added as new features are released, and existing tutorials are refreshed whenever the underlying tool changes.
| Module | Covers |
|---|---|
| Reading the Data Layers | Turning on planning, environmental and heritage layers, reading the legend, and interpreting what a designation means for a specific site — covering Green Belt, flood zones, listed buildings and more. |
| Researching a Site | How to search an address, review every applicable constraint in one pass, and build a shortlist of questions to take to a planning consultant, solicitor or surveyor before instructing further work. |
| Drawing & Measuring | Using the draw, measure and buffer tools to define a site boundary, calculate area, and check distances to nearby constraints such as a Conservation Area boundary or a Tree Preservation Order. |
| Sharing & Reporting | Generating a Planning Constraints Report, exporting a block plan, and sharing a map view with colleagues or clients — including what each output includes and how it's best used in a planning submission. |
