加快与大赦国际的规划决定
PlanAsist已经表明，它可以将计划官员花在评估住户申请上的时间减少58%。
PlanAssist是一个AI规划工具，它处理日常应用程序的起重，使官员能够将其专长集中在最重要的地方，它将提供给全英格兰另外12个地方规划当局。
在巴内、卡姆登和多尔塞特的早期试点测试中，PlanAssist显示，这可以将一名规划干事花在住户评估任务上的平均时间减少58%。 该工具旨在支持人类的判断，加快了例行检查，同时确保规划干事保留对每个应用程序的最终发言权。
规划瓶颈存在实际成本。 对于经济来说，他们在实现联合王国政府到2029年建造150万所新住房的目标方面进展缓慢。 对于家庭来说，这可以意味着等待批准几个月的时间，等待像阁楼转换、音乐学院或扩展这样的简单事物。 PlanAssist是Google DeepMind与英国政府更广泛的伙伴关系的一部分
PlanAsist 如何支持军官
日常住户申请占规划干事工作量的70%。 他们往往容易批准，但占了他们时间的不成比例的份额。
Google DeepMind与英国政府合作开发了"Google Cloud"，而"PlanAsist"学院则简化了这项工作，给予规划官员处理应用程序和起草评估建议方面的自动化支持。
首先，它验证申请文件和建筑图纸，检查所要求的资料是否已经提交，以便申请继续进行。 接下来，它对照遗产限制(如树木保护令)以及地方和国家规划政策来检查适用情况。 它还检查以前是否有任何问题或反对意见是融资，例如当地居民提出的。 最后，报告完全引用了规划干事在作出最后决定之前可以编辑的报告。
自6月以来，该工具已在Barnet、Camden和Dorset理事会进行试点，并显示出令人鼓舞的早期成果。 除了将官员每份申请的评估时间减半之外，该工具所产生的70%以上的报告，包括申请是否符合当地规划规则，或申请人是否提交了所有所需文件，都得到了官员的批准，无需编辑。
从试点转向规模
PlanAssist现在正在进入一个12个月的Beta阶段，使用实时应用，从一组理事会开始。 另有12个理事会将分三个组，使所涉总人数达到15个。 这些委员会一起包括全国的都市和农村地区，使我们能够在各种社区测试PlanAsist的能力。
在经过成功测试的情况下，政府计划在2027年将该工具提供给英格兰所有议会，并在作出任何决定之前由合格的规划官员审查并批准每项评估。
为社区服务的大赦国际
规划决定决定决定日常生活，从家庭增加托儿所到屋主准备过冬。 PlanAssist 显示通过处理耗时的行政任务，并确保规划官员保留对每项决定的最终发言权，AI如何帮助减少积压并更快地批准申请。
提供进入这些新议会的机会是下一个自然步骤，我们期待着继续支持联合王国政府努力在全国建造更多的家园并释放经济增长。

Speeding up planning decisions with AI
PlanAssist has shown it can cut the time planning officers spend assessing householder applications by up to 58%.
PlanAssist - an AI planning tool that handles the heavy lifting of routine applications so officers can focus their expertise where it matters most - is to be made available to an additional 12 local planning authorities across England.
In early pilot testing across Barnet, Camden, and Dorset, PlanAssist showed it could bring the average time a planning officer spent on householder assessment tasks down by 58%. Designed to support human judgement, the tool speeds up routine checks while ensuring planning officers retain the final say on every application.
Planning bottlenecks have real costs. For the economy, they slow progress toward the UK government's goal of building 1.5 million new homes by 2029. For families, that can mean months of waiting on approval for something as simple as a loft conversion, conservatory, or extension. Built with Gemini, PlanAssist is part of Google DeepMind’s broader partnership with the UK government to explore how AI can help transform planning and other public services.
How PlanAssist supports officers
Routine householder applications account for up to 70% of planning officers’ workloads. They're often simple to approve but take up a disproportionate share of their time.
Developed by Google DeepMind in collaboration with the UK government, Google Cloud, and Faculty, PlanAssist streamlines this work, giving planning officers automated support with processing applications and drafting assessment recommendations.
First, it validates application documents and architectural drawings, checking that the required information has been submitted so the application can proceed. Next, it checks the application against heritage constraints (such as tree preservation orders), and local and national planning policies. It also checks whether any issues or objections have previously been raised, such as by local residents. Finally, it drafts fully cited reports that can be edited by planning officers before they reach a final decision.
Since June, the tool has been piloted across Barnet, Camden, and Dorset councils, and has shown encouraging early results. In addition to more than halving the officer assessment time per application, more than 70% of the reports generated by the tool - including things like whether an application complies with local planning rules, or whether the applicant has submitted all required documentation - were approved by officers with no edits required.
Moving from pilot to scale
PlanAssist is now moving into a 12-month Beta phase using live applications, starting with a subset of councils. Twelve more councils will be onboarded in three cohorts, bringing the total involved to 15. Together, these councils include metropolitan and rural districts across the country, allowing us to test PlanAssist’s capabilities across a diverse range of communities.
Subject to successful testing, the government plans for the tool to be made available to all councils in England in 2027, with every assessment reviewed and approved by a qualified planning officer before any decision is made.
AI in service of communities
Planning decisions shape everyday lives, from a family adding a nursery to a homeowner preparing for winter. By handling time-consuming administrative tasks, and ensuring planning officers retain the final say on every decision, PlanAssist shows how AI can help cut backlogs and approve applications faster.
Providing access to these new councils is the natural next step, and we look forward to continuing to support the UK government as they seek to build more homes and unlock economic growth across the country.
