Decision stage specification
Decision stage specifications define the datasets and fields needed to accurately record what was decided, under what circumstances, why, and how that decision was reached.
They ensure decision data is consistent, linked, and reusable across notices, conditions and follow on processes.

These are the datasets that make up the decision stage specification.
- planning application Records of applications submitted to planning authorities
- site Records of development sites linked to planning applications
- decision notice The decision notice dataset records the issued decision for a planning application
