v2.148.0

More planning applications return coordinates and decision dates

More planning applications now carry a site point, so spatial search finds them and returns distances, and decision dates are available to filter and sort on across the planning endpoints.

Changed

  • Planning applications now resolve to a rooftop spatial point during ingestion wherever the council reference or address allows it, so the near filter on POST /v1/planning/query matches far more applications and returns a populated distance in metres. Proximity search around a property or postcode is materially more complete, and results can be ordered by how close each application sits to your point of interest, with no change to how you call the endpoint.
  • Decision dates are now available on the indexed decidedDate field across GET /v1/planning/{applicationIds}, GET /v1/planning/sources/{sourceIds} and POST /v1/planning/query, so you can filter and sort applications by their decision date — for example to surface the most recently decided applications in an area, or to build a decision timeline for a site.
