If you're interested in a single planning application, you do not need to download this. Instead, search on Nottingham City Council's public access planning website.

The data are available in two files: ncc_PlanningAplications.csv - this file contains planning applications from 01-01-2009 to the present date (this file is updated every day); and ncc_PlanningAplications2003-2008.csv - this is a static file containing applications from 01-01-2003 to 31-12-2008.

The 'CaseURL' field in the ncc_PlanningAplications.csv file contains a link to Nottingham City Council's planning applications public access pages where further information about each application (including a map) can be found. The URL field does not contain a value where: the application has been received but not yet validated, or where the application has been returned, or where the application has been withdrawn, or where the application was invalid on receipt, or where there was insufficient fee, or where no application was required.

As from 23-12-2014 the data meets the schema requirements for Planning Applications defined in the Local Government Open Data Incentive Scheme.
