Harborough District Council has been awarded government cash to encourage more people to get involved in planning matters.
The £125,000 will allow the use of 3D interactive maps and virtual reality technology, to help residents better envisage proposed new developments in their communities.
Harborough is one of 28 areas nationwide to be part of a pilot scheme and Cllr Phil King, Leader of the Council has welcomed it, saying: “The funding will help the council engage with communities in a meaningful way by using map-based planning consultations and by providing communities with data that is easy-to-access.”
“This will enable residents to help us to deliver planning policies that meet their needs.”
