Designing planning and housing data

BETA This is a new service - your feedback will help us to improve it.

Get involved in designing data

There are different ways to contribute to depending on where the planning consideration is in the data design process, but you can get involved at any time.

To build a design model, we need as many participants involved as possible.

You can get involved by joining online discussions or coming to events.

Help us prioritise what to work on next

We work in the open with conversations in Github that anyone can view and contribute to.

Tell us about a missing dataset

If you can't find a dataset you need on our backlog, go to Github to tell us what we're missing. The more you can tell us about the consideration the better.

Add your own dataset

Follow our guidance setting out what you need to provide to get the dataset added to the planning data platform.

Upcoming events

The data design team hosts events for all LPAs and organisations involved to join. We want as many people as possible to help design datasets that work for everyone.

Our most recent event was an advisory group on planning application data specifications.

There are no future events to display.

Join our user research panel

We are always looking for ways to improve our service. If you would like to be contacted about user research sessions, email digitalplanningresearch@communities.gov.uk.
