Latest Nimbus updates: Public Rights of Way, plus Info Panel and basket improvements

18/01/2024

At Nimbus, we're dedicated to empowering property professionals with the cutting-edge tools and features they need to succeed in an ever-changing and demanding market. That’s why we're always excited to shout about our feature releases and platform enhancements. Let's delve into the details of these latest additions…

First up:

Heritage Constraints layer: Public rights of way

Commercial and residential developers often face challenges in understanding if a parcel of land has public rights of way. The impact on access to land is a crucial consideration during the planning process, potentially resulting in specific conditions for granted permissions.

Public rights of way option 1

The solution?

The Heritage Constraints section of Location Analysis now includes a new layer that displays public rights of way, such as footpaths and bridleways. This addition provides developers and property professionals with essential information to navigate planning considerations and make informed decisions.

Next up:
Updated information panel: Streamlining document access

We know that users need to assess a site before purchasing documents, and that the placement of the documents section at the top of the Info Panel can be inconvenient. Additionally, previously the KML file download was not available as an individual download – it also relied on users remembering to add it during the checkout process.

KML documents section moved info panel-1

The documents section has been moved below the Population section, streamlining usability. Users can now easily access and read all necessary information before effortlessly adding documents to their basket. And that’s not all, a new document option for the KML file allows users to visualise a title's boundary, offering an improved, hassle-free experience.

Updated basket: Individual KML file purchase

Previously, the KML file was available as a checkbox add-on to another document, making it challenging for users to remember which files they needed.

KML multiple line items

Now, users will find the KML files as an individual line item in the basket, aligning with its availability in the Info Panel. Users can now purchase KML files without buying additional documents, simplifying the process, and ensuring they get precisely what they need – when they need it.
