Sep 1, 2025In September 2025, delivered two front-end enhancements in Planning-Inspectorate/crown-developments focused on readability, clarity, and user guidance. Key deliverables: 1) Representations UI – line-break handling and text wrapping with a dedicated CSS class to preserve newlines in redact-confirmation and review-comment views (commits 579b754a2a49823c5bbd02862c1ca4657dfc9eb9; 076799ad6adbc73a827f1011e5eb3d60c65829a7). 2) Have Your Say – clarified the submission process for written representations, including the option to upload supporting documents, who will see the comments, and the submission deadline (commit 525c1bd5e6a897ed6a7c692efdb31711d7fb8ed0). These changes improve readability and user guidance, reduce ambiguity, and support better user outcomes. Business value is reflected in improved user satisfaction and lower support overhead, while technically this demonstrates front-end CSS/class enhancements, content updates, and accessible UI improvements.
