  LPA designations
  
  Requested Mon 06 October 2025
  Responded Wed 24 December 2025
  
  I am writing to formally request the provision of following documents for Hastings
  
  1. Most recent Conservation Areas shape file in vector format;
  
  2. Most recent Article 4 designation areas shape file in vector format;
  
  3. And most recent Tree Preservation Order shape files in vector format. Currently, the mapped Conservation Areas, Article 4 and Tree Preservation Order maps cannot be assessed in sufficient detail, and having access to them in vector format is crucial for our analysis for planning purposes.
  
  I am happy to receive map/shape files in any recognised vector format which contains the coordinates describing the shape of the conservation areas, article 4 designation areas and TPO, so can be used in GIS software. As conservation areas, article 4 and TPO are part of land designation, these shape files should be publicly accessible. Therefore, I kindly ask that you provide these shape files in a compatible vector format. If the shape files are not available, please provide information about any Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that you may have relating to conservation areas. Such APIs will help us accessing the files directly without the use of email.
  
  Response
  
  Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.
  
  All requested datasets are now available via our open data hub at https://opendata-hastingsbc.hub.arcgis.com/
