Explore the team dashboard

  1. NDX Demo Council team

    After logging in, you'll see the NDX Demo Council team. This is a sample council set up to demonstrate PlanX's capabilities. In production, each council has its own team with its own set of flows.

  2. Browse the planning flows

    The team dashboard lists the available planning flows. You should see flows for common planning application types:

    • Householder planning application — the most common type, covering extensions, loft conversions, and outbuildings
    • Lawful Development Certificate — for confirming whether proposed or existing development is lawful
  3. Understand the flow structure

    Each flow in PlanX is a structured journey that guides an applicant through a series of questions. The questions determine:

    • What type of planning permission is needed
    • What information and documents to collect
    • Which planning policies and constraints apply
    • Whether the application can be submitted digitally
  4. Check flow status

    Each flow shows its status. In the demo, flows are ready to edit and preview. In production, flows go through a review and publishing workflow before they're available to applicants.

What you're seeing: This is the same editor interface used by councils like Lambeth, Southwark, and Camden to manage their digital planning services. Service designers create and maintain flows that thousands of citizens use to submit planning applications each year. Learn more about PlanX.
