Live geography from the official record. A district or place name is a group of postcodes, not one address.

Found in the same 2.8 km sample around the centre of M33, from 225 live postcodes. Proximity, not a boundary.
Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on M33 7FB — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole Sale Town Centre policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing M33 7FB — a named area can span several of them, so this is the one covering the centre of Sale, not all of it. 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 · Sale Town Centre neighbourhood
One month of records for the Sale Town Centre 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.
