Introduction

AECOM is delivering the multi-disciplinary Milton Keynes Infrastructure Study and Strategy (MKISS), to support Milton Keynes’ emerging MK City Plan 2050 with comprehensive infrastructure evidence, covering 10 infrastructure types and 36 subtypes. The project provides the client with a detailed infrastructure study, underpinned by extensive technical engagement, and an associated Investment Strategy. The project further supports City Plan consultation with a concise, public-facing digital Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP), hosted on AECOM’s innovative PlanEngageTM webpage. The aim of the project is to ensure that adequate infrastructure is provided to make Milton Keynes’s growth ambitions deliverable, sustainable, and equitable.

Challenges

Supporting the Council’s evolving growth plans and City Plan timescales; and producing an Infrastructure Delivery Plan that contains all the relevant technical infrastructure information to support the City Plan and technical stakeholders as sound evidence, while also presenting this information in a way that is sufficiently interactive and accessible to members of the public.

Solutions

Using AECOM’s PlanEngage has allowed the team to present the evidence in an engaging, attractive, and interactive fashion, as a digital Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Furthermore, PlanEngage is easy to manipulate and edit over time as the Council’s plans, plan stages, and timescales evolve.

PlanEngage is AECOM’s digital engagement platform, making technical reports and data easily accessible, interactive and highly visual for improved engagement, faster project permitting and better environmental and social outcomes. It is highly versatile and customisable and has been used in a variety of planning and engagement contexts. It can be used to engage with a wide range of stakeholder groups, including public, landowners and statutory consultees. In-built map and form-based feedback functions enable projects to collect feedback from stakeholders in an engaging and intuitive manner. Feedback forms are easily configured to collect structured, project-specific information.

Results

An interactive webpage published as part of, and supporting, the Council’s City Plan public consultation and technical stakeholder engagement, accessed by residents and technical stakeholders, and underpinned by more detailed technical reports as PDFs.
