How to fix this issue

Your dataset is missing the documentation-url column.

The Article 4 direction guidance explains how to fix the issue:

documentation-url

The URL of the webpage on your website that introduces the document.

Each document should be linked to from a documentation webpage that includes a short description of the data and the document you’re linking to. Each article 4 direction should have a unique URL. This means you can create a separate page for each one, or you could list several on one page. If you do that, there must be a separate anchor link (fragment identifier) for each one.

This means each section of your page should have its own URL. Most publishing systems will allow you to use a hashtag to create the identifiers for each article 4 direction you list - as in the examples shown.

Example:

One article 4 direction per page:

http://www.LPAwebsite.org.uk/data/article4directions/smithroad

More than one article 4 direction per page with an anchor link for each one:

http://www.LPAwebsite.org.uk/data/article4directions#smithroad

http://www.LPAwebsite.org.uk/data/article4directions#broadhousepark
