This website exists to help people doing personal research projects on particular areas within a locality. So long as you are using our data for only a small number of units, you are not making money out of what you are doing, and you are not systematically re-publishing our data, you do not need to request permission from us, but you do need to acknowledge us as your source with the wording:

This data matrix holds retrospective data on house occupancy ten years earlier. These figures will generally be identical to the current data published by the earlier census, but may be of interest if (a) the earlier census did not publish these data or (b) the boundaries of the reporting unit changed significantly between the censuses, as these data will be for the unit as defined at the later date.
