How to fix this issue

Your data is missing a documentation-url.

The Local plan guidance explains how to fix the issue:

documentation-url

Enter the URL of the webpage which links to your main or core plan document.

If there are several plans listed on a single webpage, you can use an anchor link (fragment identifier) to make the document-url value for each plan unique. For example:

• https://eastcambs.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning-policy-and-guidance/adopted-local-plan/local-plan
• https://example.com/local-plans/#example-local-plan-2027
