• Claire Miller (26 September 2024)

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

• Kieran Wint (06 September 2024)

  We have marked the data update frequency as unknown, as we were unable to find anything definitive. One thing of possible note is the BCE (Boundary Commission for England), who do produce annual reports, but whether this is reflected in the updating of data is unknown.
