Total

What does this tell us?
This is the number of places Digital land attempts to collect data from each night. The number shows the challenge anyone looking for planning data faces.
76

Without a documentation URL

What does this tell us?
When we add a source we usually record a documentation-url. This is the place where we found the source. It helps us answer questions about where we found the source and why we are collecting it. Without it we are less confident about the origin of the source and therefore the authority of the data.
