Our LAEP Open Data Page takes an innovative approach to data aimed make it easier for our stakeholders to find and use essential data.

We provide core planning datasets to support local authorities just starting on their data journey into LAEPs.

By offering open-source data, we significantly reduce the time spent during the early planning stages, enabling local authorities to make the best choices for their communities.

Our goal is to make the planning process more efficient and informed by providing easy access to essential data.
