Planning condition types

Infor Public Sector uses planning condition types to define the planning conditions, or conditions of approval, on plans for large-scale construction projects, such as subdivisions or shopping centers.

These planning conditions are then passed down from a planning application to its child project and building applications to enforce the guidelines set out by the plan. For example, Infor Public Sector can automatically assign a planning condition from a parent planning application to a child building application. Members of your agency can also manually add planning conditions.

You can set up two kinds of planning condition types: informational and requirement.

An informational planning condition contains important information your agency wants to supply to applicants or staff members who might be working with an application that has the planning condition. For example, you might create a planning condition that instructs a Permitting department to waive a condition that is usually set on a building application in favor of a revised condition set forth through its parent planning application.

A requirement planning condition sets requirements on any application that has the planning condition. For example, you could create a requirement planning condition that halts the permitting process on a commercial complex until your department verifies that a prescribed amount of open space has been set aside.

Planning conditions can also include inheritance rules that automatically add the planning conditions to the appropriate child applications, and activation rules that establish the deadline for the planning condition to be removed or met.

Inheritance rules, activation rules, and statuses are defined separately from a planning condition type, so you can reuse them with any planning condition.

Members of your agency with the appropriate access rights can also tailor a planning condition for individual applications without affecting its definition in the Planning Condition Library. Your agency can thus create a set of common planning condition types that can then been tailored for individual applications.
