Planning Data

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Waltham Forest Borough Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Waltham Forest Borough Council,

We would like the following information relating to planning applications information ideally in a CSV file”

"Property Address" " Application Number" "Status" "Proposal"

We do not need the supporting documents, comments, etc.

We are currently building a free service that incorporates a wide-range of property specific information for homeowners in one place. We have already integrated with Land Registry, Royal Mail, Ordnance Survey, VOA, ONS, Data.gov.uk, Historic England, etc. This information would be very useful for our users, so I hope that you can locate it for me.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Wilde

Dear Waltham Forest Borough Council,

Thank you for your swift response and the information provided. We have looked at the H&F planning portal and whilst your right it is freely available, due to the sheer volume and depth of planning applications within the borough it would take us up to a week for to scrape the data from your authority opposed to the ten minutes it would take for the planning department to export it. I appreciate it is going above and beyond but we would really appreciate it if you could do so.

We do not need all the planning documents etc. Just the search results demonstrated below:

031785 15/03/2003 30 Cecil Road Walthamstow London E17 5DJ CLE- Formation of a room in the roof involving installation of a rear dormer window as shown on drawing number ORB030- A Rev 01 received on 15 March 2006. Approved

Yours faithfully,

Mr Wilde
