UK government tests AI planning prototype with Google DeepMind to speed up application processing
By
The Digital Planning team
Summary
The UK's Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) have developed a new AI planning prototype in collaboration with Google DeepMind and Faculty. The tool is being tested with three local planning authorities to help planning officers process applications faster by analyzing applications and surfacing relevant policies. Importantly, planning officers remain the key decision-makers, with AI serving as a support tool rather than a replacement. The initiative is part of broader government plans to transform the planning system and improve efficiency for local planning authorities.
