Modern cloud-hosted services
A hosted service model to support modern access, delivery and system management.
Modernising Planning and Local Land Charges
North York Moors National Park Authority partnered with StatMap to modernise its Planning and Local Land Charges operations, improving efficiency, accessibility and service delivery.
The project brought together Planning, Public Portal, Earthlight GIS and Local Land Charges functionality, helping the Authority move away from older systems and support more connected workflows across applications, spatial data, customer access and land charge searches.
Case study snapshot showing the challenge, solution and results for North York Moors National Park Authority.
The challenge
The Authority needed modern systems to replace older technology used to manage planning applications and Local Land Charges. The new approach needed to support more efficient case handling, provide a Local Land Charges service and improve the experience for customers using online services.
The project needed to support:
Streamlined workflows
Clearer processes for handling planning and land charges work.
Integrated GIS
Spatial context connected to operational case and search workflows.
National platform connectivity
Integration with national platforms where configured for the service.
Customer access
Portal functionality to support submissions, tracking and access to information.
Reduced manual handling
Less duplication of effort across systems and processes.
The solution
StatMap provided a connected set of systems and services for the Authority, including:
HorizoNext Planning
A Development Control / Planning system to support planning application workflows.
Public Portal
Customer-facing portal functionality for submissions and application tracking.
Workflow automation
Configured workflows to support more consistent processing and reduce avoidable manual steps.
Document management
Built-in document management and storage to keep case information, plans and correspondence connected.
Earthlight GIS integration
Integration with Earthlight GIS so spatial information could support planning and land charges workflows.
National Planning Portal integration
Integration with the National Planning Portal to support planning application processing where configured.
Local Land Charges
Local Land Charges functionality to support LLC1 and CON29 search production and accessible land charge records.
Address consistency
Use of the National Address Gazetteer to support consistent address management across linked systems.

Local Land Charges
The Local Land Charges element supported search production and access to land charge records, while connecting with the wider StatMap spatial platform.
The solution supported:
- LLC1 and CON29 search production
- accessible land charge records
- integration with Earthlight GIS
- integration with HM Land Registry where configured
- stronger links between land charge records, spatial data and related council workflows
Results
The project delivered integrated systems across Planning, GIS and Local Land Charges, helping improve the flow of data and reduce duplication between services.
Integrated systems
GIS, Planning and Local Land Charges were linked to support smoother data flow.
Address consistency
The National Address Gazetteer helped support consistency in address management.
Improved workflows
Modern workflows helped improve efficiency across the planning and land charges process.
Reduced double-keying
Linked systems helped reduce unnecessary re-entry of information.
Better user experience
The new services supported a more accessible and joined-up experience for users.
Customer access
Portal functionality helped support submissions, tracking and access to application information.
It is very refreshing to be working with a company that can develop and innovate as quickly as you guys do.
