One flexible consultation workflow
Less jumping between GIS, websites, surveys, and analytics
PlaceChangers brings the public-facing consultation website, proposal map, survey responses, web analytics, and reporting evidence into one place. Teams can launch faster, use client branding and project domains where needed, and avoid checking separate GIS, survey, and analytics tools just to understand what happened.
- Faster launch
- Reusable consultation patterns, branded project pages, and domains without starting from scratch.
- Clearer evidence
- Map comments, survey answers, and engagement analytics stay connected to the same proposal.
- Useful outputs
- Export summaries, mapped feedback, and structured records for SCI reports and decisions.
Online planning consultation software
Explain the proposal, collect constructive feedback, and turn responses into report-ready evidence
Help residents and stakeholders understand what is proposed, where it happens, and how it affects them. Use interactive 2D/3D maps and guided consultation tours to walk people through proposal layers, Street View, images, video, and key story points, with Revit/BIM or simple massing where it genuinely helps explain scale and key views.
- 2D/3D proposal maps
- Guided consultation tours
- Street View and media
Bring project information, proposal content, surveys, analytics, and reporting into one client-ready consultation workflow. Use project branding, custom domains, and proven page structures to get the polish of a project website without commissioning a bespoke build for every consultation.
- Client branding
- Custom domains
- Fast setup
Shape the participant journey around the project, then collect survey answers, priorities, and location-aware comments as structured response records. Help people leave proposal-specific feedback rather than generic objections, with filters, tags, and exports ready for review.
- Journey builder
- Custom surveys
- Export-ready records
Save reporting time with AI-assisted summaries, topic analysis, mapped evidence, and export-ready outputs for SCI reports, client updates, cabinet papers, and planning submissions. Reduce manual write-up after consultation closes by keeping survey responses, web analytics, and spatial evidence in one workflow.
- AI response summaries
- SCI and report evidence
- CSV and visual exports

Making an Impact Across the UK
"The PlaceChangers platform was a game-changer for our reporting. The 'guided tour' approach ensured high-quality qualitative responses, while the AI features gave us the quantitative data we needed to rank community priorities. It's an incredibly efficient tool that simplified our entire consultation workflow."
"The interactive consultation on PlaceChangers brought the masterplan to life, making it easy for the community to explore and provide meaningful feedback. The platform was clear, user-friendly, and ensured accessibility for all."
"There were a lot more responses than usual and a greater number of responses provided specific comments (as opposed to objections with no supporting information/text). It was definitely a more insightful response rate and the consultation process was improved using Place Changers."
