Source: PlanIt, which mirrors council registers. The council’s own register is the authoritative one, https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control.
Large developments granted permission in the last five years. These stay listed after they leave the 90-day view. A scheme is at its most visible on the ground when it is quietest on the register. Permission is not building work: no open dataset records whether a scheme has started.
