Introducing Cadence’s New Towns Template
Strategic planners, developers, and local authorities face a common challenge: identifying viable sites for new development requires sifting through mountains of spatial data, scattered across multiple sources, taking weeks or months to compile a comprehensive picture.
What If You Could See It All At Once?
Our New Towns Template prototype transforms early-stage planning by bringing together the spatial themes that matter most into a single, interactive platform. Whether you’re identifying greenfield opportunities, assessing infrastructure constraints, or evaluating climate resilience, Cadence helps you make faster, smarter decisions. Simply select your area of interest in Cadence, and the template automatically assembles key spatial datasets across four critical themes.
Four Critical Planning Themes in One Interactive Map
Nature & Biodiversity: Identify ecological constraints, protected habitats, and opportunities for nature-based solutions. Balance development ambitions with environmental stewardship from day one.
Transport Networks: Visualise existing infrastructure, accessibility zones, and connectivity opportunities. Plan developments that enhance mobility and reduce car dependency before breaking ground.
Flood & Climate Risk: Layer flood zones, surface water risks, and climate projections onto your site analysis. Build resilience into your planning process, not as an afterthought.
Place & Context: Understand existing settlement patterns, community assets, and landscape character. Create developments that genuinely fit their setting and respect local identity.
Why Strategic Planners Choose Cadence
Accelerate Site Identification: Stop toggling between multiple data sources and disconnected spreadsheets. See all critical planning constraints and opportunities on a single map, reducing site assessment time from weeks to hours.
Make Evidence-Based Decisions: Interactive maps drafted directly in Cadence to ensure your team works with the most relevant spatial data. No more guesswork, no more outdated information, no more costly mistakes discovered too late.
Build Stakeholder Confidence: Present compelling, data-rich visualisations that demonstrate you’ve considered every angle, from biodiversity net gain to flood risk to transport accessibility. Win support with clarity, not complexity.
Future-Proof Your Approach: Climate and biodiversity risks aren’t optional considerations anymore. Integrate them seamlessly into your planning workflow from the very first sketch, ensuring your projects are sustainable and resilient.
Transform Your Planning Workflow
Finding the right sites for strategic development doesn’t have to be slow, expensive, or overwhelming. With Cadence’s New Towns Template, you can:
- Visualise what matters most in one place.
- Move faster with confidence.
- Plan better with comprehensive evidence.
- Build sustainably from the start.
