[Talk-GB] Significant planning applications

[Gareth L]

I thought for HS2, much of the route was mapped with the =proposed tag ahead of the notice to proceed.

Could that also be an option?

You're right. Unfortunately, I can think of at least three people in my area of interest who map directly from plans leading to non-existent houses, roads, and footways being added (they probably will exist in future, but it makes using OSM to plan a journey difficult in those areas), or roads that exist being removed from OSM because they didn't appear on a plan.  One of the dead giveaways is the sudden appearance of loads of barrier=fence ways, many of which are clearly visible from the road as either hedges or nothing (ie they've taken the property boundaries from a plan).

Personally I don't waste my time with proposed developments, especially
roads, as they're often rejected or take decades to come to fruition.
The 'as built' rarely corresponds with the application. I wait until
turf has been cut before adding data to OSM.

As has been suggested, something like uMap is your best bet.
