My department is supporting the adoption of innovative Property Technology (PropTech) tools. The latest Round 4 of the department’s PropTech Innovation Fund, launched in February 2024, provided funding to Local Planning Authorities to support projects that demonstrate how digital solutions can be used across land assessment. These include projects to support the identification of new sites for housing and infrastructure, as well as projects supporting wider industry adoption of these PropTech tools.
