Independent report – 'The Grosvenor review'

In 2019, the Office of the Registrar General and the Surveyor General commissioned an independent ‘Digital Survey Plans Review’ by Grosvenor. The three main objectives of the review were to:

  • explore and explain why uptake of digital plans has remained low
  • identify what opportunities exist for digitalisation of plans
  • provide recommendations on the best way to progress digital plans such that benefits to surveyors, Government and other plan users are maximised
