Our archive policy ensures that we only serve the latest, and most useful, project information to our customers by default.

Older projects that have been completed or cancelled, are moved to the archive of our website and are ultimately held in our historic database after they have been inactive for several years.

Small Projects

Are archived when:

- The decision date is 3 years ago

- The project has been inactive for 3 years

Become historic data when:

- The decision date is greater than 5 years ago

- The project has been inactive for 5 years

Large and Mega Projects

Are archived when:

- The completion date is 1 year ago

- The project has been inactive for 1 year

- Permission was refused, or the application withdrawn 1 year ago

Become historic data when:

- The completion date is greater than 5 years ago
