UK Planning Designation Records: Conservation Areas, Listed Buildings, Tree Orders by Dataset (Planning Data)

planningdata/designation-records

Records of one UK planning dataset, a page at a time, or a single record by its reference: conservation areas, listed buildings and their outlines, Article 4 directions, tree preservation orders and zones, scheduled monuments, parks and gardens, battlefields, flood risk zones, ancient woodland, SSSIs, national parks, brownfield land, local plans, local authorities and more, 45 datasets for England. Each record has its name, reference, dates, maintaining organisation, a representative point and the fields its dataset adds; boundary geometry is not returned. `count` is the total number of matching records. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0; served by Eden Engine, not an official MHCLG product.
