An alternative source is data that was not provided by your organisation.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) is listed as the alternative source when the data was collected from publicly available information, not supplied directly by you.

Become the authoritative source

Follow the steps to publish data on your website and let us know where we can collect it.

To help you prepare your data, you can download CSV files for local plans and plan timetables. Each file contains pre-populated rows for local plans using the new system that you can complete.

Open the file in a spreadsheet editor and:

  • review the data
  • correct any errors
  • add missing information before publishing it on your website

The CSV may include data for the legacy local plans system from:

  • data you provided in the past
  • information on your website from plans under the legacy system
  • open data from public sources
