Kensington and Chelsea not executing search for InLinks #34

Open NotQuiteMinerva opened 5 years ago

NotQuiteMinerva commented 5 years ago

The Kensington and Chelsea site has a different configuration to other planning searches - there are 72 applications for InLinks on the site but they don't show up on the InLink Kiosks page.

The field name to search proposals is:

Proposal Keyword

The link:

https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/planning/searches/default.aspx?adv=1&proposal=inlink&batch=20&pgapp=1#tabs-planning-1

will find the applications if you can do something with that.

Currently the scraper only works for sites running Idox and Northgate systems. I don't recognise this system so it might be a one-off/custom one. Someone's going to have to write a scraper for it.

It's still useful to have them in the file though.

Here's how we detect which system the council is using by looking at the URL in Authority.system:
