Interface

When you first log into 1Streetworks, the Plans tab will be open. This page is the default space and contains the map, plan summaries, and plan search functionality.

The main Plans workspace.

There are three sections users have access to in 1Streetworks: Plans, SWA Organisations, and Manage Account. These can be accessed from the following options from the side bar.

Tab

Description

View Plans

This is the default start page and contains the map and the Plan Browser. The Plan Browser is a list of all your organisation's existing plans, including in-progress plans. Plan details can be viewed here, and new plans can be created. See Plans for more details.

Manage SWA Organisations

1Streetworks requires each plan to identify the works promoter or undertaker that a plan is for. The Manage SWA Organisations page shows all organisations that have been added to the list. Works promoters will likely only have themselves listed. Works undertakers may have a list with all promoters that they work with. See Manage SWA Organisations for more details.

Account Management

You can manage your user profile and account security here. See Account Management for more details.

1Streetworks System Status

1Streetworks is an online product that is hosted in the cloud. This means that services can and will occasionally be unavailable due to an incident or because of scheduled maintenance.

The main Plans workspace.

The System Status can be checked in the System Status panel by clicking the Status button . This will list any interruptions to the 1Streetworks Service. If there is a live incident or current maintenance, there will be a yellow dot on the Status button.

A detailed System Status page can be reached via the link in the System Status panel, as well as via the System Status link in the documentation.

Click Subscribe to Updates to receive updates to the System Status via email, Slack, Teams, Atom Feed, or RSS feed.

The Map

The main workspace of the Plans screen is the map, until you choose to look at a specific plan, create a new one, or go to another tab. Part of the map will be obscured by the Plans panel but this can be collapsed/expanded with the button at the top right of the panel.

Collapse Panel Button

The map can be navigated by left-clicking and dragging, rotated and tilted by right-clicking and dragging, zoomed in and out with mouse/touchpad scrolling, and interacted with using the buttons in the bottom right of the Map panel.

This will jump the map to the location of the device that you are using. This will be effected by using a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

      Note: This will not work unless you allow your browser to share your location.

      Note: Jumping to a location will reset the map orientation.

Jump To Location

Select Layers

Opens the options for adding or removing information layers, or changing the map visual style for the underlying Ordinance Survey data shown.

The Layers tab has toggles to show point of interest features such as Roads & Streets, Designations, Transport, Infrastructure, Amenties. These include Bus Stops, Schools, Hospitals, Bridges, Tunnels, etc.

The Basemap tab contains a choice of map visual styles. This also contains the toggle Show 3D buildings, which extrudes simple, transparent building geometry to the recorded heights on the map. This is not available on the Aerial basemap type.

      Warning: These geometries are simple and cannot account for complex details and features. As such, this feature should be used as a guide only and not a definitive source.

The Works tab has filters to show different permit types within a selection of date ranges.

Works/Permits

Selecting a date range, Promoter, and/or permit types will show all permits that meet the criteria on the map.

Promoters show both their SWA Code and whether they are for England and Wales, or Scotland. Promoter names and codes are provided by Geoplace for Promoters operating in England and Wales, and by Scottish Road Works Register for Promoters operating in Scotland.
