Data sources
Named layers, a licence, and a date. Nothing we cannot stand behind.
Constraints are table stakes. The join to the appeal letters is the product. Cadence and coverage live on the row, not in a footer. Naming a source is not an endorsement.
| Layer | Publisher | Licence | How Plot reads it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title polygons | HMLR INSPIRE | OGL + OS rider | Monthly copy |
| Designations | planning.data.gov.uk | OGL v3 | Live id, copy for geometry |
| Flood zones | Environment Agency NaFRA2 | OGL | Direct, not the 2023 PDG copy |
| SSSI IRZ | Natural England | OGL | Bulk copy, decoded offline |
| Appeals | Planning Inspectorate | OGL v3 | Letters classified; outcomes joined |
| Current applications (Rother) | Council weekly list PDF | permitted host | Weekly copy; officer PII stripped |
| Historic applications | PlanIt | courtesy, no commercial terms | Throttled; not the current feed |
| Title register / plan | HMLR Business Gateway | pay-per-use | On demand, charged through |

Corrections
Planning records are published by the relevant authority and Plot reproduces what they publish. If something here is wrong, or a licence holder wants an entry changed, say so and it will be corrected. Ownership names and comparables are not here — LandTech and Searchland do those.
