Planning History
BetaThe councils’ planning registers, on one map
More than 11.5 million planning applications from the councils’ digital registers, read in council by council. Choose an authority and search its register, or zoom in anywhere to see what has been applied for around a site.
- Search an authority’s register by address, reference or the words of a proposal, newest first
- Filter by outcome across the whole register, where the outcome has been read in
- Zoom in anywhere: the applications around a site, coloured by outcome, your own sites beside them
- A link to each application on the council’s own register, and its decision notice where we hold it
Each council’s digital register begins at a different date: we read them from 2006, or from the year a later one begins. Planning records go back to 1948, so for a site’s complete history the council’s own files are still the place to check.
Site appraisal
Draw the red line. The appraisal assembles around it.
Not a lookup at a single point. Each constraint is measured from the red line, with its distance, its source and the date it was checked, and the whole record exports as a report under your practice name.
- Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments
- Green belt, protected landscapes and habitats, and the farmland grade
- Flood zones and surface water with climate change; Critical Drainage Areas in London
- The station catchment, bus frequencies and the Framework’s transport tests
- The adopted plan and its review stage, and the appeals decided nearby with the letter a tap away
- A client-ready PDF under your own logo, synced to every device you work on

Appeals intelligence
A decade of appeal decisions, mapped across England, one click straight to the Inspector's decision letter
Over 273,000 decisions since 2016, direct from the Planning Inspectorate, with the decision letter behind each wherever PINS published one. Search every word of the letters, read any authority's record, see what was decided around any site.
- Every authority’s record: allowed rates by development type and procedure
- Comparable decisions with the letter one tap away
- Costs decisions read separately: who applied, who paid, and why
- AI reads every letter we hold: main issues, reasoning, weight and housing land supply
Try the free planning appeal search
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Every decision is searchable, mapped or not. A pin appears only where the Inspectorate's own record carries a usable location: we plot what can be placed honestly rather than guessing. Authorities are counted as the Inspectorate files them: an authority abolished since 2019 keeps its own record, so there are more records than councils today.
