AI (artificial intelligence) was introduced into Searchland to enable you to find specific information about local council plan documents, adopted & emerging, within seconds.
This tool will:
Filter huge documents to find the answer you need, saving you time
Give you a contextual response
Reduce the chance of missing important information
Replace the need to ask your local planning consultant, saving you cost
Serve as a great guide before viewing these documents
This tool is great for anyone who needs to understand key policies at the local council level, before diving into these lengthy documents.

How to use our AI tool?
Go to your 'Control Centre' - Scroll to 'Strategic Land' - click 'Local planning authorities' - select your chosen council on the map - click 'ChatGPT for local plans -Try Searchland AI'.
Select which plan you would like to search by clicking 'Adopted' or 'Emerging'. You can now type your question into the search bar. Click 'Ask' for the answer to display below. For a new question, simply remove your current question and repeat the process.
You will also find the link to the local plan at the bottom right of this tab, which will open the document in another window.
ā ļø Notes: We always recommend you look at the local plan document after using our AI tool. At this time, our AI tool can't compare Adopted and Emerging documents, or compare between councils.
