Illustrative street photograph, not this place. Greathome shows coverage gaps rather than filling them in.
Live geography from the official record. A district or place name is a group of postcodes, not one address.
The pin uses Postcodes.io coordinates, not an exact entrance or title boundary.

Found in the same 2.8 km sample around the centre of OL1, from 225 live postcodes. Proximity, not a boundary.
Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on OL1 3RH — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole St Mary's (Oldham) policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing OL1 3RH. Each keeps its source, its geography and its limits. Counts are counts: an incident total is not a safety measure, and an empty planning result is not a completed search.
Police.uk · St Mary's (Oldham) neighbourhood
One month of records for the St Mary's (Oldham) policing neighbourhood — the boundary police.uk itself shows, so this figure should match theirs. Not a year. Locations are anonymised to a nearby street, not an address. Counts are not adjusted for population, visitors or reporting differences and must not be treated as a neighbourhood quality score.

This means only that the postcode point did not intersect the selected Planning Data datasets. It does not mean the property has no planning constraints.
Screened at the postcode point, not a title boundary. Coverage varies by dataset and local planning authority; absence is not a clear result.
About Planning Data ↗Application-level planning data comes from the Planning London Datahub, which covers the 35 London planning authorities. No other authority publishes an equivalent feed, so nothing has been substituted.

Places mapped in OpenStreetMap within this distance of the postcode point, measured straight-line, and kept only where the map tags them as the kind of place the heading claims. OpenStreetMap is volunteer-maintained and this search returns the closest matches rather than every one: a short list is not proof that nothing else is there. Distances are not walking routes, and nothing here checks opening hours, whether a surgery is accepting patients, or whether a place is still trading.
