Barnet conservation areas

Notes on reconciling Barnet's conservation area data for planning.data.gov.uk.

Matching entities

We already have conservation areas in Barnet from Historic England's national dataset, and the GLA's London Datastore. Entities from these secondary sources need to be matched and redirected to Barnet's data, and the redline boundaries, the authorititive source.

The platform currently sets the organisation for each conservation area from the London Datastore to the individual London Borough. This should be changed to attribute them to all to the GLA so they can be recoginsed as being a secondary source.

A search for conservation areas in Barnet returned 33 entities including conservation areas from neighbouring authorities which abut Barnet's local authority district boundary. This is now 16 following the changes below being implemented by the platform.

Note the references CA02 and CA09 don't appear in Barnet's data.

The Bishops Avenue

The information page includes a map and an area appraisal for The Bishops Avenue, but this seems to be a part of the Hampstead Gardens conservation area.

Source

Barnet have a policy page on their main site with a list of conservation areas which looks like the source documentation-url value: https://www.barnet.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/conservation-and-heritage/conservation-areas.

Endpoint

Barnet also have a page documenting their open data publications and endpoints: https://open.barnet.gov.uk/dataset/20yo8/conservation-areas.

This could be added to the endpoint dataset in a new documentation-url field. We can use this to record pages like this where the data is documented separately to the information, such as on a service such as Data Mill North or ArcGIS.

There is also a GEMINI file at https://open.barnet.gov.uk/download/20yo8/ef7/ConservationAreas.xml. This is one of the metadata formats used by the data.gov.uk harvester which could be used by the platform monitor to monitor endpoints published by some LPAs. The platform could also publish a GEMINI file for each dataset.

Conservation area documents

The documentation-url against each conservation area is currently empty. This should be set to the URL of the PDF containing the authorititive red line boundary map for each conservation area.

The area appraisal documents associated with each conservation area should be provided in a conservation-area-document dataset. We can help seed this dataset.
