Datasets

Datasets describe the minimum record data a planning authority should create and maintain as a planning application moves through the planning permission process.

They cover facts, events and artefacts recorded after an application is received, including the application record, sites, documents, decisions, conditions, section 106 agreements and timeline events.

They define consistent records that can be reused for registers, reporting, monitoring and sharing data between systems.
