When a strategic housing development is commenced, the developer is required to provide a website with details of the development. However, when a site gets permission and is subsequently sold, there is no obligation to maintain a website. I have come across that issue in my own area and it becomes impossible for people to find information. There is a question of transparency in public information, because the development has not come through the local authorities. They will only put it up on their system so they can track it for compliance. Is that currently being looked at? There is duplication here which is costing administrative time.
