Testimonials

92% of site submissions were made online via OpusConsult. It only took us 2 weeks to convert the remaining email and postal submissions into the system. Prior to using the Opus system, the previous Call for Sites had taken 2-3 months to input all data into a usable format.

The OpusConsult system and dedicated Local Plan website has provided value for money.
