The Problem

Amenity gaps discovered at planning stage delay development and reduce liveability

Amenity planning decisions made without spatial evidence create provision gaps, over-provision in some areas, and planning objections that delay development and reduce liveability outcomes. Gaps discovered at planning application stage — rather than at brief stage — cost months of additional work and erode development value.

Without DBF With DBF
Amenity provision assessed manually against planning standards
AI-driven amenity analysis scoring provision against population and proximity targets
Proximity gaps identified after planning applications are submitted
Every proximity gap identified and tested before planning submission
Social infrastructure demand estimated from census data
Demand modelled from combined demographic, land use, and mobility data
Liveability targets assessed at the end of masterplanning
Liveability and amenity KPIs integrated from the first planning scenario
Process

How It Works

01
Data Ingestion

Upload site boundaries, GIS data, demographic datasets, and planning policy constraints. DBF integrates multi-source data into a single spatial model.

02
Scenario Generation

AI generates 50+ development scenarios — each scored against planning, liveability, sustainability, and infrastructure KPIs simultaneously.

03
Spatial Analysis

Every land use configuration, density gradient, and infrastructure relationship is evaluated. Conflicts and opportunities surface with spatial evidence.

04
KPI Scoring

Scenarios are automatically scored against liveability, sustainability, infrastructure capacity, and planning policy compliance.

05
Stakeholder Comparison

Comparable scenario outputs ready for planning authority, investor, and community stakeholder review from day one.

06
Authority Reporting

Planning-authority-ready evidence outputs and spatial data exports delivered from the feasibility stage.

Platform

Built for evidence-based amenity provision

Every DBF capability is designed for the specific demands of amenity planning — where amenity proximity, social infrastructure demand, and liveability outcomes interact across development briefs and planning policy decisions.

  • AI amenity distribution analysis
  • Proximity and isochrone gap analysis
  • Social infrastructure demand modelling
  • Population and demographic data integration
  • Liveability KPI scoring
  • Planning-authority-ready evidence outputs

Future Vision

Amenity evidence as a planning prerequisite

As liveability and social infrastructure requirements become embedded in planning policy globally, data-driven amenity planning will become a planning prerequisite. Planning authorities will require amenity evidence from the first brief stage, developers will need to demonstrate provision before planning submission, and communities will expect better-planned neighbourhoods. DBF enables teams to validate and communicate amenity provision with spatial evidence from the first development brief.
