DIGITAL MAPPING & DATA
Inaccurate, out of date, unlicensed or incorrectly displayed plans
are considered one of the most common causes of a planning
application being rejected. Using the latest mapping and
environmental data, ahead of a new building or redevelopment
project, minimises delays resulting from location-related queries.
Promap, from Landmark Information, is used by thousands of
property professionals to access land data, including digital maps,
aerial photography, height data and 3D models, in a range of CAD-
ready formats.
Talking about how Promap supports his consultancy, Ian Pick,
Principal Planning Consultant at Ian Pick Associates said: “We
prepare and submit the often complex applications and help
guide clients through the various stages of obtaining planning
permission. At the outset of every client instruction, we access
digital OS maps from Promap. It is important that we are working
with the latest maps and have always been able to get what we
need through Promap.”
