Open data is part of Councils being more open and transparent; about sharing certain non-personal information and datasets and making them freely available for everyone to use as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other controls.
The idea of open data is outlined in the government's Open data White Paper (June 2012).
Open data published by the Council is open to use, you do not have to apply for permission, on the condition that you adhere to the terms of the Open Government License for public sector information
The data contained on this website is in open and readable formats that can be easily re-used: where appropriate it is formatted according to a specific schema.
Open data can be used to create information, publications, systems and applications that are both useful and innovative and are of benefit to the wider community.
Please note that we reserve the right to change the format and nature of the data that we publish.
Our open data is published under one of three directives:
- Local open data incentive scheme (LGA)
- Local government transparency code 2015
- European Directive 2007/2/EC Inspire

Section 106 agreements
Planning obligations under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) are commonly known as ‘Section 106 Agreements’, and are a means by which developers contribute to mitigate the impact of a particular development that would otherwise be unacceptable. They are often referred to as ‘developer contributions’.
Planning obligations are often used to secure affordable housing, to specify the type of this housing, and to provide improvements in infrastructure. They can also be used to restrict a particular development, provide certain amenities, specify that land is to be used in a particular way, or require monies to be paid to the Council.
Because the Council receives a number of enquiries about Section 106, the Council has decided to publish details of the current agreements on our website, and this information will be updated periodically.
