Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Planning Application Access

A QR on the model display at a public exhibition links to the full planning application on the planning authority portal: drawings, supporting documents, and the comment submission period.

2. Visualisations and Renders

A QR links to high-quality CGI renders, aerial views, and interior visualisations. Physical models show massing; the QR shows finishes, materials, and street-level experience.

3. Public Consultation Response

A QR links to the public comment form. Visitors who have questions or concerns after viewing the model submit feedback digitally without mailing a written response.

4. Historical Context

A QR on a heritage redevelopment model links to historical photographs, maps, and documents about the site. Public consultation informed by heritage context produces more constructive feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should planning exhibition QR links require login?

No. Public planning consultations must be accessible to all. Require login only if collecting personal details with consent for follow-up communication.

Can a QR replace the physical model in planning consultation?

No. Physical presence and direct engagement are important in planning. QR supplements by providing depth beyond what the model shows.
