I am requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Could you please provide a csv (or xlsx) file containing the following information on all individual planning applications from Jan 1 2010 to Dec 31 2023?
Columns:
• Planning application number/reference
• Easting
• Northing
• Postcode
• Address
• Ward
• Parish (if applicable)
• Current application status
• Application outcome (if applicable)
• Consent type (eg. Full, Outline, Reserved Matters, etc.)
• Development category (eg. major dwellings, minor dwellings, any other category of new dwellings)
• Number of dwellings created (if possible and applicable)
• Development proposal summary (if it exists)
• Date received
• Decision date
• Date validated
Please define any/all ambiguous varaibles in the dataset (eg. 1: minor dwellings application).
I understand that your authority already offers a planning search tool which contains much of this information. However, this tool limits the number of applications displayed, making the fulfilment of my particular request infeasible. I also understand that your authority publishes summaries of applications with some of these variables. However, I require individual geo-linked observations.
For reference, South Somerset District Council already provided an analogous file which was perfect for my purposes (link here).
