Data Update Schedule
How often each major dataset on Maplify is expected to refresh from its source authority.
Expected update cycles
Update frequency depends entirely on how often the responsible authority republishes its own dataset — Maplify imports each one on a matching schedule. This table shows the expected cycle, not a guarantee of a specific date.
| Dataset | Source | Expected cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Land Registry INSPIRE Polygons | HM Land Registry | Monthly |
| Flood Zones 2 & 3 | Environment Agency | Periodic, as remodelled |
| Surface Water Flood Risk | Environment Agency | Periodic, as remodelled |
| Green Belt | planning.data.gov.uk / local authorities | As boundaries change |
| Listed Buildings | Historic England | As listings are added or amended |
| Conservation Areas | Historic England / local authorities | As designations change |
| SSSIs | Natural England | As notifications change |
| Ancient Woodland Inventory | Natural England | Periodic review |
| Coal Mining Risk Areas | The Coal Authority | Periodic review |
| BGS Radon & Ground Hazard | British Geological Survey | Periodic review |
| Planning Applications | planit.org.uk / local authorities | Continuous, near real-time |
Not real-time
Aside from planning applications, no dataset on Maplify updates in real time. Always treat mapped data as being as current as the last source release, not as of today's date.
