On every site

The decision
What was approved or refused, when, for how many homes, and the date a permission runs out.
The council's record
Each application links to its page on Plota and from there to the council's own record.
The land itself
Size, constraints, the kind of owner and the last sale on record.

Why these rules

Council planning registers. The 250 m² floor is Plota's: in a sample, nine in ten permissions on smaller parcels were a flat, a house in multiple occupation or a shop changing use inside an existing building.
