Join Open Digital Planning

The Open Digital Planning community is growing. As part of the community local planning authorities can gain access to valuable resources, peer support and expert digital guidance. You may also be able to access funding to improve your data capabilities, begin service modernisation and prepare to adopt modern planning software. 

There is currently no open funding round for new local authorities to join Open Digital Planning.

The most recent application window, for the Digital Planning Improvement Fund, closed on 30 October 2025. We will onboard successful local planning authorities in February 2026.

We will promote any future funding opportunities on this page.

If you are interested in finding out more about being part of the Open Digital Planning community, please email digitalplanningteam@communities.gov.uk and we will be in contact.
