You may not realise that what you're effectively asking us to do is to copy this data from the AIPs into our own database, and maintain it going forwards. The cost/benefit analysis of doing that is very clear that it's not worth it, sorry.

For example, according to both the AIP and their website, Derby (EGBD) runway 23 has a declared length of 523m with TODA 585m and LDA 306m. According to the SkyDemon plate, Derby runway 23 has a length of 547m, which is none of the figures given in the AIP, and certainly not the most limiting!
