What is Planaccess?

It can be regarded as the computer-based equivalent of a map but an important difference is that it is interactive allowing users to move around the maps and query certain layers of mapped information presented.

PlanAccess enables you to access Ordnance Survey (OS) and mapped data layers provided by a number of Carmarthenshire County Council departments as well as other useful data from external sources.

How do I use Planaccess?

You can use the “Address Search” facility tab to enter an address and/or postcode to find a location on a map. Please leave a gap in a postcode when using the Address search e.g. enter SA31 1JP not SA311JP.

Click on the zoom in, zoom out, or pan buttons and then on the map to move around the map. Also the ability to select and zoom to a specific area of the map from an overview of the whole county is provided by the “Overview map” tab.

Click the information button and then click on an object shown on any map theme. Any information associated with the mapped object will be displayed.

By using the “Find My Nearest” button and then clicking on the map at any location you are able to search for a facility or council service from the list presented. For example you can then find the nearest school or library by selecting from the list and choosing a search distance. If you click on any item in the found list then the map will jump to that location. Remember the search distance you select is in Kilometres and displayed results are “as the crow flies” i.e. radial not road mileage.

Wherever possible public domain mapped data will be presented via PlanAccess in both Welsh and English.

Further help on using the interactive mapping functions is available here or directly from the help pages within PlanAccess.

We are continually improving and updating this service, so to help us we would be grateful for your comments or suggestions.
