Further to my earlier telephone conversation with Ian Goodall I was wondering if I may be able to obtain some information with regards to the national infrastructure projects.

Essentially, I would like to plot the location of each project into a GIS system in a similar way to the pins that are displayed on the google map on your webpage.

In order to do this I would need an excel-based table with, as a minimum, the following:-

•      Name of Project
  

•      The location of the project expressed as at least one of the following:-
  

o Latitude/Longitude o National Grid Reference i.e. 6-figure easting and northing o Postcode

Any additional information that could be included would be very useful, eg developer/applicant, details of project, timescales, etc.

I recognize that you may not issue this information as standard therefore any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Please do not hesitate to call if you have any queries or just wish to better understand my request.

Advice given

Thank you for speaking with me on the phone earlier regarding location date for infrastructure projects.

The attached spreadsheet has been extracted from our website and contains some of the public project information which you have requested. I have included information about all current and decided applications, and also those which we expect to be submitted in the future that we have been notified about. The date section indicates the stage that the project has currently reached.

Regarding grid co-ordinates, there are many numbers displayed. We ask applicants to supply co-ordinates for our website, but they are not used for any other purpose, which means that they may be approximate or outdated. For linear schemes the matter is even less clear as we typically ask for three points along the proposed route.

I hope that this information is usable for you.
