A few years back within the [Tendring District] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendring ) of England I started to place Notes on OSM when local government granted planning permission permitting development of new dwellings, roads or change of use of buildings i.e. an office building becomes a residential property. It’s a semi automatic utility which might feature in a future diary entry but for now let’s focus on OSM Notes.

I’ve created quite a few Notes and they’ve become difficult to manage. I needed a visual map highlighting notes that have not been reviewed for years so I, and others, can focus on returning to the oldest Notes updating and closing accordingly. After some thought I created this available at [UMAP] (https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/tendring-openstreetmap-notes_97621).

The rest of this diary is about how that’s produced.
