Why access to the Report of Handling dataset might be of interest to you
Every planning decision tells a story — but those stories are locked inside long, unstructured PDFs. Reorient Data’s Report of Handling dataset unlocks that information, making policy references, outcomes, and decision trends searchable and countable.
For Local Authorities: ensure consistency across casework, evidence your decisions, and monitor how policies are applied in practice.
For Developers & Consultants: understand how policies influence approvals and refusals, benchmark your proposals, and reduce planning risk.
For Communities & Researchers: gain transparency into how local and national policies are shaping places, track delivery against climate and housing commitments.
By turning qualitative reports into structured data, we provide a unique evidence base for smarter, faster, and more transparent planning.
This new data product is a result of research Iain led for the RTPI, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh Governments, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
