+"""
+This is the screenscraper for the planning applications in Amber Valley.
+
+We have to get the initial search page so that we can use the __VIEWSTATE
+parameter.
+
+The start and end dates have to be separated by 1 day - I presume they are
+interpreting dates as a datetime at midnight...
+
+BeautifulSoup doesn't seem to be able to cope with what comes back from the
+post, so we'll use HTMLParser.
+
+The info reference link uses javascript (typical). As far as I can see there is no way to link directly to the info page for an application, so we'll just have to link to the search page.
+
+Bizarrely, the comment url is fine. e.g.
+
+http://www.ambervalley.gov.uk/services/environment/landandpremises/planningtownandcountry/planningapplications/planappcommentform.htm?frm_AppNum=AVA-2008-0955&frm_SiteAddress=147+Derby+Road%0dDuffield%0dBelper%0dDerbyshire%0dDE56+4FQ%0d&frm_Proposal=Rear+single+storey+extension+and+loft+conversion
