High street change runs on two tracks as AI planning evidence rules arrive

Planning Inspectorate AI guidance for casework coincides with a Potters Bar High Street application and Worle High Street safety works.

The Planning Inspectorate has published guidance on the use of artificial intelligence in casework evidence [2]. The guidance applies to any appeal, application or examination dealt with by the Planning Inspectorate [2].

Read together, these items show high street change being handled on two levels: street-level works in Worle are moving forward, while the Planning Inspectorate is setting procedural rules for AI in cases such as the Potters Bar application [1][2][3]. Since the Potters Bar application is an application dealt with by the Inspectorate, the AI guidance covers any use of AI in that case [1][2].
