Great tool! I've checked out my local area (Ealing) and there's a few disagreements marked for several allotments which are listed as 'Private Site' in the GLA data. Effectively there is no name present in the data for those sites, so perhaps this scenario could be catered for in the algorithm, e.g. do not flag the site based on name?
It also raises the question of the owner/operator of allotment sites in the data. The wiki suggests operator=* for allotments, which would seem to be equivalent to the 'Organisation' field in the data, although this is not consistently recorded and is missing for the thirteen private allotments in Ealing. I'd second creating a wiki page to record additions/corrections to the data, assuming it is not straightforward to add a feedback function to the app. Will.
