Surveying Places
How can planning be based on a better understanding of existing places and uses
This Practice Note recommends authorities carry out their own in-house surveys to build in-house capacity and capture valuable information on local communities, economies and structures. Drawing lessons from an industrial audit of the Bexley Riverside Opportunity Area, the Practice Note sets out a series of practical recommendations for how local authorities can design and deliver affordable and efficient surveys.
