Forward Planning Information

Key Differences from EToN

Street Manager allows forward planning information notices to be created only for major works, whereas EToN allowed them for other work types as well.

Once a forward planning information notice is cancelled in Street Manager, a new forward planning information notice cannot be created on the same works. In fact, no other action is allowed on the works and the works also gets cancelled.

Street Manager does not allow creation of permits on top of forward planning information notices. The only allowed action is to progress it to a PAA.
