UK planning data from every council.

PlanAPI gives you API access to every planning application across 400+ UK councils. Applications, decisions, spatial search, and real-time updates. Refreshed daily.

No spam, just an email once a space is available.

The Problem

UK planning data is fragmented across hundreds of council portals, each with its own format, its own quirks, and no API.

Developers building property tools, construction lead platforms, or mapping products have to scrape, parse, and normalise data themselves, or pay five-figure sums for static spreadsheet exports from legacy providers.

PlanAPI solves this. One REST API. Every council. Updated daily. Clean JSON responses with consistent field names, pagination, and spatial queries built in.
