Check and provide planning data

The Planning Data platform is a single national platform that indexes the data and makes it available in a standardised format.

You can use the service to check your data and provide it to us. We’ll add it to the Planning Data Platform. You must publish your data on your website before you provide it.

Your data does not need to be complete or perfect to start. Any data we have from you means we can begin to index it and provide it on the platform. Start with what you have and improve it over time.

Read the guidance to help you check and provide your data

Check and provide data
 

Check your data

The check tool can help you understand which issues you need to fix straightaway, and which issues you can fix later.

The tool will accept any of these formats:

  • CSV
  • GeoJSON
  • GML
  • GeoPackage

Alternatively you can use your endpoint URL (the URL of the data file or feed itself).

You do not need to publish your data on your website before you check it.


Provide your data

Once you have published your data on your website, you can provide your data to the platform. We'll need your:

  • full name
  • work email address
  • endpoint URL
  • webpage URL: the URL of the page on your website which contains information about the dataset and the link to your data

View your data

Visit your organisation’s dashboard anytime to clearly see the data you’ve supplied and the datasets you still need to provide.

For any live data, we’ll let you know what you can do to improve it.
