Appraise Release, Thursday 28 November 2024

We've just pushed a new version of our development appraisals tool, Appraise.

This release focussed on improving some of our energy and infrastructure data, as well as bringing in some new amenities datasets.

New Features

We now show quite a bit more information about the nearest DNO substations, including the voltage and the name the DNO uses to refer to it:

You'll also notice that we show the nearest five, rather than just the nearest; sometimes the closest substation isn't the best one to connect into.

Enhancements

• We came up with a cleverer way to handle smaller sites, so there are no longer size restrictions on the titles you can select
• Your contact details will now be persisted in local storage, so you don't have to keep entering them if you create multiple appraisals
• New dataset: bus stops
• New dataset: train stations
• New dataset: GP surgery
• New dataset: nutrient neutrality catchment areas
