The bid was to trial how the rapid development of 3D visualisations from GIS based systems can be used by local authorities to improve stakeholder engagement. The bid was successful and following consideration of the sub-contract by council officers; the council is now in a position to sign the sub-contract agreement. Approval was therefore sought to enter into that subcontract.
