Step 2: Set up the BOPS test environment 

Why you need to do this

When you’re ready, we’ll create a BOPS testing (’staging’) site for you to familiarise yourself with BOPS and to train your team.

The test site works in exactly the same way as the live version (known as the ‘production’ environment). The test site allows your planning team to try out BOPS processes and work with planning applications in a safe space that will not affect genuine planning data. 

We will send the login details to your BOPS lead. The BOPS lead can then add other people to begin using BOPS.

What you need to do

  1. Work with the BOPS team to set up your Staging environment and trial accounts.
