Project Brief — PEDW FrontEnd
What this project is
PEDW FrontEnd is a bilingual (English/Welsh) public-service web portal for Planning and Environment Decisions Wales. It supports public case discovery and authenticated portal workflows for planning appeals, representations, and DNS (Developments of National Significance) journeys.
Problem it solves
- Gives citizens and stakeholders a single place to search planning cases and view case details/documents.
- Enables authenticated users to create/manage appeals and representations through structured online workflows.
- Provides role-aware dashboard experiences (e.g. general portal users and LPA users) without exposing internal CRM complexity.
Key users / use cases
- Public users: search, filter, and view planning case information and documents.
- Authenticated portal users: manage account details, submit/continue appeals, submit representations, track watched and submitted items.
- LPA users: authority-scoped dashboard and representation-related actions.
- Admin/support users: review new appeals/documents and operational lists via admin endpoints/UI.
High-level success criteria
- Core public and portal journeys remain reliable (search, case detail, my portal, new appeal, representation).
- Security-sensitive flows (auth/session, API relay/hash, file/document handling) remain intact.
- EN/CY parity is maintained for routes and user-facing content.
- Accessibility baseline remains acceptable for keyboard navigation, headings, labels, and focus behavior.
