In this Loom, I explain how to use settlement boundaries to understand the urban form of an area. I show you how to use the built-up areas dataset, which is a government consensus dataset, to work out whether an area is broadly speaking, urban versus non-urban. Then, I compare this to our settlement boundaries layer, which is a dataset that we go to every council to collect, we digitalize the local plan and what their boundary is and we put that on. I explain how to use this layer to understand where is inside the settlement and where is outside the settlement. If you are looking to submit planning applications, it's the settlement boundary data that you're going to want. I also show you how to read the decision notice for an application.
