PlanAssist AI planning tool set to expand to 12 more English councils
In early pilots, PlanAssist cut average time officers spent on householder assessment tasks by 58%, Google DeepMind says.
TLDR
Built with Gemini, PlanAssist checks planning documents, policies and objections before drafting reports for officers to edit. Google DeepMind piloted it in Barnet, Camden and Dorset and says 12 more councils will join a 12-month beta using live applications, bringing the total to 15. Officers retain the final say. Subject to successful testing, the government plans to make the tool available to all English councils in 2027.
