Creating Plans

To create a new plan, select Create Plan at the top right of the Plans panel.

This will open the Create Plan panel.

If your map isn't at the correct location or zoomed in close enough, navigate there/zoom in using The Map until the extents box appears and covers the area that the plan is intended for.

Complete the form in the Create Plan panel, only the Name and Promoter are required, the other fields are optional. If any details need changing later, this can be done by Editing Plans. Once everything is filled in, select Create.

Auto-Draft Plan

Creating an Auto-draft plan opens the 4-step Auto-draft tab, which guides you through the process of getting a plan ready. Beginning with creating the Works Area, to submitting the plan to the 1Streetworks Auto-Draft process.

These steps are needed because they allow you to enter details that are specific to this plan, and cannot be obtained from the Ordnance Survey data. The required information will affect things such as the size of the safety zone and the traffic management approach which will be determined by the underlying rules logic.

Step	Description
1 - Works Area	The initial building block of a plan is the Works Area, as represented in the “Red Book” - Safety at Street Works and Road Works - A Code of Practice - October 2013 This may or may not be an excavation. At least one works area must be created per plan.
2 - Works	Further details about the works themselves.
3 - Vehicles	Information about the vehicle counts on the carriageway and bus and cycle questions.
4 - Pedestrians	This final step asks about pedestrian count and questions regarding whether a pedestrian diversion will be necessary.

Manual Plan

Creating a manual plan immediately creates an empty plan with only the Plan information Details tab filled in.

Editing Plans remains the same as Auto-drafted plans, allowing for features to be added/removed, Diversions to be created, Signals to be added, and Generating PDFs.

The Plan Information History tab will contain an entry for the Auto-draft being skipped to differentiate between Manual and Auto-drafted plans.
