Applications near the postcode point, newest first — not applications on this property, and not a planning search. Each record originates with the London borough that validated it; the Datahub is the Greater London Authority's collection of those borough feeds, and the borough's own planning register remains the definitive record.

Distance boundary Straight-line from the postcode point, not a walking or driving route.

Admissions boundary Nearby does not mean in-catchment, eligible, available or preferred.

Inspection boundary Ofsted records are dated publications, not a current quality guarantee. Previous-framework overall grades remain labelled separately.

Source date GIAS 6 September 2026 · Ofsted 31 July 2026.

Remaining property evidence

The sold-price address is connected. These other datasets remain unavailable and are not inferred from it.

Partial report

Current official address register

Pending source

Greathome retains a UPRN returned by a safely linked EPC as that certificate's source reference. HMLR supplies no UPRN, so this remains an address-text link—not a gazetteer, title or ownership match.

Candidate: Paid address provider deferred

School admissions and place availability

Pending source

Nearby GIAS establishments and Ofsted inspection records are connected separately. Catchments, eligibility, available places and policy-year evidence remain unavailable.

Candidate: Admission authorities

Flood and environmental risk

Pending source

No flood source is connected. Flood risk is not a property search, an environmental report, an insurance assessment or a conveyancing result, and none of those is offered here.

Candidate: National agencies and licensed production feeds
