The Planning Application Control System is a complete text data and map management system. PACS is a windows based application written in Microsoft Access 2000 with a GIS link available to either Mapinfo Professional or Arcview.
The system is made up of seven key areas:
- Development Control
- Building Control
- Enforcement
- Appeals
- Land Charges
- Web/Intranet Access
- PACS Portal Module
PACS is currently being used across the United Kingdom by Borough Councils, District Councils, County Councils and National Park Authorities.
The complete planning process can be managed using a single system.
A PACS user group has been established by our existing clients and meetings are held every six months. New enhancements and new modules are demonstrated by ESDM and general discussions take place on changes of procedure within the planning environment and the user group provides a strong role in driving new development and functionality.
The core of the system is the Development Control module which has been developed for storing application details, producing site plans, carrying out automated constraint checks, generation of various standard consultee/neighbour letters, decision notices and committee reports.
