The ability to switch between OS and Aerial Imagery was seen as a useful way to understand the potential impacts of development on the surrounding environment and street infrastructure. Since then, West Dean have continued to expand their use of Parish Online and now use it for asset management, i.e. of bus shelters, grit bins and highways (in partnership with the County Council). Parish Online has become an invaluable tool in coordinating Neighbourhood Plans and has been used to designate specific areas for action and in calculating optimum routes for volunteers delivering leaflets. "When taking calls from residents, it is very helpful and professional to be able to zoom into the area of concern as the person is speaking, to understand the problem, whether it relates to highways, transport, grit bins or public disorder. I am very much aware that we have not yet used the system to its full potential. We are still to record our council owned land, footpaths, play parks, youth shelters, benches and probably other features we have not yet considered." (27th November 2012) Dave Kent, West Dean Parish Council Tickhill Town Council subscribed to Parish Online in August 2012 and have used it frequently to assess planning applications that come through with insufficient location information, or to see how the application may affect neighbours. As part of the Localism Act, Tickhill Town Council are soon to embark on their Neighbourhood Plan. "I know this mapping tool will, in the months to come be an invaluable tool as there will be many public consultation sessions that require maps of all sizes." (27th November 2012) Nigel Cannings, Tickenhill Parish Council "Parish Online is proving excellent in looking at planning applications. We can put maps up on screens during meetings so everyone can see what is being discussed." (2nd August 2012) John Henson, Poringland Parish Council "We have successfully mapped the locations of our allotments, parks and buildings, meaning that we can supply maps to the public to help with queries such as planning applications." (10th Jan 2012) Chris Stringer, Salisbury City Council "The aerial photography from Getmapping is very useful. It helps to flip between the OS mapping and the photography to verify what's on the ground."
