Tracking performance targets

Scottish planning authorities are required to publish annual Planning Performance Frameworks and these provide a basis against which the digitalisation of the Scottish planning system can be progressed. To assist this, and in advance of formal or more developed guidance on performance and case management, reporting and monitoring tools are identified below to assist users or decision makers.

Digital Dashboards

Dashboards can collect and display real-time data from sensors in a place. The dashboard portal can give decision-makers a real time sense of a place and how it changes. Dashboards are not a new concept but are evolving in the ways they are being used. Digital dashboards can be presented in a number of ways. Some dashboards are more stationary digitally showing existing data, some are more interactive and constantly changing where real-time data is incorporated. Below shows some examples of how these have been presented, within the built environment.
