Questions about planning data.

Straight answers on coverage, documents, search and exports.

Coverage and data

Which councils do you cover?

Every council in the UK. Coverage is nationwide.

How up to date is it?

Live. Applications appear as they’re submitted, so you see them before they’re on most council websites.

How far back does it go?

Planning history back to 1980, with the documents for every application.

Do I get the documents too?

Yes. Plans, drawings, statements and decision notices, all in the app. No more downloading PDFs from council portals.

Search and filters

Can I search inside the documents?

Yes. Our document keyword search reads the text of plans, drawings and statements, and highlights every match.

Can I choose which documents to search?

Yes. Pick the document types you care about, such as plans and drawings only, and we search just those.

How do I find the right applications?

Search by map, drawn area or AI, then filter by work type, distance, property value and stage.

Saving and exporting

Can I save my searches?

Yes. Save your searches and re-run them any time, and save up to 2,000 results at a time into folders. Folders that fill themselves with new matches every day are part of Enterprise.

Can I export the data?

Yes. Export your results to CSV, ready for Excel or your CRM.

Does it send letters to homeowners?

No. Planning data is just the data. If you want letters as well, look at Homeowner outreach.
