PlanAPI gives you API access to every planning application across all 384 UK local planning authorities. Applications, decisions, spatial search, and real-time updates. Refreshed daily direct from council portals.
No annual contracts. No sales calls.
Developers building property platforms, construction lead tools, or mapping products have to scrape, parse, and normalise planning portal data themselves, or pay five-figure sums for static spreadsheet exports from legacy providers.
PlanAPI solves this. One planning application API. Every council. Refreshed daily from source. Clean JSON responses with consistent field names, pagination, and spatial queries built in.
Every council portal checked within 24 hours. As soon as a council publishes, we pick it up. Always as current as the public record.
Search by postcode or lat/lng with a radius. Build maps, alerts, and proximity features.
Query descriptions, addresses, and references simultaneously. Indexed across millions of planning records.
Every local planning authority in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. One format, one API.
Subscribe to new applications or decision changes. Filter by area, type, or council.
Sign up and start building. Trials available to test against your project. Monthly plans that scale, no annual lock-in.
Surface nearby planning applications on listings. Alert buyers and investors to new development activity around properties they're watching.
Spot granted permissions the day they land. Reach projects and bid on work before competitors even know they exist.
Overlay live planning applications on your maps. Query by radius, bounding box, or postcode using the spatial search endpoint.
Monitor client sites programmatically. Benchmark approval rates and decision patterns across local planning authorities.
Track application volumes by region, type, and outcome. Identify where the development pipeline is accelerating before official statistics catch up.
Verify borrower planning claims in seconds. Monitor portfolio sites for status changes. Power LTV calculations with accurate, up-to-date permission data.
We check every council portal within 24 hours. The moment a council publishes new data, we pick it up on the next sweep. Some councils update daily, others weekly, but you always get it as fast as the public record allows. No delays, no intermediaries, no waiting for a third party to re-process it.
