Search planning appeal decisions

272,900 English appeal decisions since 2016, refreshed nightly from the Planning Inspectorate. For 164,213 of them the Inspector’s full letter is searchable word for word; the rest are found by their address, proposal and outcome. Type what the case turned on and read how Inspectors have reasoned about it.

Every word must appear, so more words narrow the search. Words that belong together go in quotes: “grey belt” finds the phrase, grey belt finds each word anywhere. Or paste an appeal reference.

The free search finds the decisions. With the Appeals plan you read every letter we hold, with the main issues, policies and judgments cited picked out, and save the decisions you need.

Inside the app

The same search, with the map and the letter

Search “grey belt”, see every match on the map, open one and read the Inspector’s framing of the main issue, then the letter itself. Under a minute, unedited.

Words or meaning, the map narrows to your matches, and the letter is a tap away.

Any authority

Search for the LPA’s record

Each authority has its own page: how its appeals have gone since 2016, the share allowed by type and by procedure, how long a decision takes, and the latest decisions with the Inspectors’ letters.

Every authority’s record, A to Z →

Authorities are listed as the Inspectorate files them: an authority abolished since 2019 keeps its own record, marked with the council that took its area on, so there are more records here than councils today.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Decisions are those published by the Planning Inspectorate for England, with personal data redacted at source; linked cases and decisions without a published letter may be missing. This search is for research. It is not an exhaustive record and not advice; verify against the Inspectorate’s own record before relying on a decision. What is in the record states exactly what we hold, refreshed with the data. You can also look decisions up from inside Claude or ChatGPT: add the free connector.
