One of our focus areas is making it easier for other software to integrate with Plan✕.

Current integration with Back-office systems

You can currently use Plan✕ to:

• Submit applications to an email address
• Submit applications to a Microsoft Share Point folder via Power Automate
• Submit applications to BOPs (all statutory application types)
• Submit applications to Uniform (Apply for a Lawful Development Certificate only)

You cannot yet use Plan✕ to:

• Submit other types of applications to Uniform (we aim to support this in the near future)
• Submit to other back-office systems

Our future integrations strategy

Connectors

We are working with existing and new back-office system providers to support MHCLG as they co-develop new JSON data standards for planning applications, and digital infrastructure that will make it easier for different planning tools to connect and share data. Using these, Plan✕ will ‘push’ applications to back-office systems automatically when an application is received.

Plan✕ Submissions API

Any team that a customer (such as a council) wants to access submissions data will be able to access a Plan✕ API endpoint, from where they will be able to pull a range of documents and data in different formats.
