OA non-residential dashboards

There is a big amount of information generated and collected every second. Whilst huge datasets can often be overwhelming and not particularly engaging, dashboards can assist in telling stories through simple, accessible visualisations. Dashboards are interactive tools that offer a ‘gateway’ into the underlying datasets. They offer an opportunity to see all the important metrics, look for answers, but also shape new questions, and further research.

The development of the OA dashboards is a new way of monitoring and visualising the progress of London’s Opportunity Areas.

In the context of OA monitoring, OA dashboards can:

• Support the evaluation and comparative analysis of OAs
• Provide up-to-date information on the strategic planning context
• Support the development of masterplans, strategies and planning submissions​
• Encourage collaboration
• Encourage active engagement by providing concise  and relevant online content
• Illustrate patterns of change  within OAs at a pan-London scale 

The Datahub holds detailed information on planning applications, permissions, commencements and completions in Greater London. This helps in  tracking development progress across London. The data received is supplied by applicants for planning permissions and may be subject to inherent issues and errors. For more information, please see The Planning London Datahub.
