+Sharing data will help planners and developers gain a better understanding of the potential for development in each participating authority.
 
+The data will be used in the [PlanX](https://opendigitalplanning.org/services) service, which can:
+
+-   show potential development sites that fit local planning requirements
+-   help people to plan developments that meet those requirements
+
+PlanX (formerly RIPA) has the potential to save LPAs time by reducing the number of invalid planning applications they receive by [up to 80%](https://www.ripa.digital/objectives). This could [save £179 million](https://www.ripa.digital/understanding-the-problem) in costs to LPAs nationally.
+
+It will also make the planning application process easier for homeowners and businesses.
+
+By publishing your data, you will be helping to create a national resource of open planning data. Other services are likely to be built using this resource in future.
