I had a message from one of the developers of Twitterplan explaining that they are using the data gathered for the email alert version at http://www.planningalerts.com/, which in turn is "scraped" from the council web sites. So the councils do not really have to do anything to be involved. Perhaps there are technical issues that prevent the Edinburgh data being gathered in this way or maybe they did not give their permission? That surprises me as well.
