Research
These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.
Answering them wil help us learn more about the Local development order consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.
-
Do we understand the lifecycle of a Local development order?
-
Do we understand how the data is created/produced?
-
Where will or should the data be used?
At a local level
-
What other planning considerations does it interact with?
-
Who are the statutory consultees for Local development order?
Prescribed bodies need to be consulted for a minimum of 28 days.
-
Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Local development order? How do we expect them to use Local development order?
-
What are the planning needs for this data?
Yes - where an LDO is in place, the way of gaining planning permission is different to the standard method.
-
Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Local development order data?
LPA, Developers, Local Community
-
What are some potential uses of Local development order data?
Identifying the location of LDO's, as they grant planning permission in a different way, therefore knowing the location of them is beneficial for a number of stakeholders.
-
What's the value of adding Local development order data to the platform?
Planning value, to understand the location of the LDO's, and where they are in place.
-
From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Local development order data available?
The data found produced by the Local Government Association is NOT explicitly published under an open licence, nor is it completely up to date. Accessing the links to local authority websites through this map more often than not returns an error 404, being that the page / file is not found. If this is the case, data might need to be collected from local authorities individually which modifies the outlook and time to completion for this data.
