Case Study: Westmorland and Furness Council maps minerals sites transparently with Delib's Citizen Space Geospatial

Westmorland and Furness Council assesses 23 site submissions with Delib

Westmorland and Furness Council faced the challenge of running a Call for Sites exercise to identify land suitable for future minerals and waste development across a large and geographically complex district. The council needed to not only collect submissions but also make spatial sense of them to assess sites against a wide range of constraints and share findings transparently. They turned to Delib's Citizen Space Geospatial to address this.

Using Citizen Space Geospatial, Delib provided a solution that collected structured, spatial data directly through an interactive map. This allowed the council to efficiently move into a high-level constraint assessment, which found all 23 submitted sites to be of least constraint. The results were published openly on an interactive map, providing a strong, transparent foundation for ongoing stakeholder engagement as part of the Local Plan development process.
