Supported Councils (MVP)

Council	Portal Type	Status
Woking	Idox PublicAccess	Active
Brent	Idox PublicAccess	Active
Westminster	Idox PublicAccess	Active

failOnCouncilError (boolean, default false) — when false, a single failing council records a {status:'failed',error} entry in the run summary and the run continues to remaining councils. When true, the run fails on the first council error.

More councils added as adapter coverage expands. See "Roadmap" below.

Scheduling tip for Westminster: Westminster's weekly-list form exposes a 4-week rolling window of recent applications. If you're using onlyNew: true to track new applications, run at least every 4 weeks (a weekly schedule is well within bound). Brent and Woking have longer windows (52 and 16 weeks respectively).

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`councils`	string[]	required	Council IDs (e.g. `"woking"`) or full portal URLs.
`dateMode`	enum	`validated`	One of `validated`, `decided`, `updated`.
`dateFrom`	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	7 days ago	Start of search window.
`dateTo`	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	today	End of search window.
`keywords`	string[]	`[]`	Case-insensitive match against proposal/description/address.
`postcodes`	string[]	`[]`	Outward (e.g. `GU21`) or full postcode filters where the portal supports them.
`maxResultsPerCouncil`	integer	`100`	Cap per council per run.
`includeDetails`	boolean	`true`	Fetch detail pages to enrich status/ward/documents.
`includeDocuments`	boolean	`false`	Surface document-list metadata (title, type, date, URL). Documents are never downloaded.
`stateKey`	string	—	Optional key enabling monitoring mode (`onlyNew`, `firstSeenAt`, `lastSeenAt`).
`onlyNew`	boolean	`false`	When true, output only applications not seen in prior runs for the same `stateKey`.

Example: weekly Woking watch

{
  "councils": ["woking"],
  "dateMode": "validated",
  "stateKey": "weekly-woking",
  "onlyNew": true
}

Output

Each application is one dataset record. Key fields:

Field	Description
`councilId` / `councilName` / `portalType`	Source identifiers.
`applicationRef`	Council's application reference (e.g. `PLAN/2026/0042`).
`address` / `postcode`	Site location.
`proposal`	Description of works.
`applicationType` / `status` / `decision`	Application category and current state.
`receivedDate` / `validatedDate` / `decisionDate`	Key dates.
`ward` / `parish` / `caseOfficer`	Local context.
`documents`	Document-list metadata (title, type, date, URL) — only when `includeDocuments: true`. Documents are never downloaded.
`firstSeenAt` / `lastSeenAt` / `isNew`	Monitoring-mode tracking (only populated when `stateKey` is set).
`detailUrl` / `documentsUrl`	Source-verifiable links back to the council portal.

Notes

Document content is never downloaded. Only metadata (title, type, date, URL) is surfaced.
Public comments are not scraped (personal-data risk).
applicantName / agentName are returned only when the council exposes them publicly on detail pages.

Reliability

Transient network failures retry automatically with exponential backoff.
Per-council error isolation: a single failing council does not fail the whole run unless failOnCouncilError is true. The summary records each council's status individually.

Roadmap

Wandsworth (Northgate Planning Explorer adapter — second portal type).
Additional councils by request.
