[Talk-GB] Stale Developments

[Peter Neale]

Hi Robert,
Thanks for producing this new tool.  I had already spotted the Bulldozer icon on the "Survey Me" map and, in my local area, I have already:
Updated one Brownfield Site to Construction Site, where work has started after years of nothing.Deleted one Construction Site, where there is nothing happening on the ground and the local council GIS shows no planning permission for development.Updated one small Construction Site of about 15 houses that is now complete.
Please keep up the good work providing tools to help us identify where work is needed.   
Regards,Peter

 I'd like to announce a new mini QA tool that I've put together for UK
OSMers: Stale Developments: https://osm.mathmos.net/developments/

It finds OSM UK highway and landuse tags with tags values of
construction, brownfield and greenfield, which haven't been edited for
over a year. The idea is that such objects should correspond to
real-life developments, whose status is likely to change on that
timescale. Hence the OSM objects probably need reviewing and updating.

To keep the numbers reasonable, the page above only lists the most
stale objects (no edits for over four years), but the full set of the
data is exposed through my Survey Me tool at
https://osm.mathmos.net/survey/ .

Do take a look if you're interested. I hope this is useful to some of you.

Robert.
