Key benefits

Using earlier planning signals from the submission process, we help teams spot opportunity sooner turning planning activity into faster, smarter commercial decisions.

The earliest insight

Planning applications often submitted weeks before they appear consistently across public registers. As the proprietors of Planning Portal our live data can help you prioritise decisions and outreach sooner.

Decision-ready data

Our tailored datasets are structured for analysis, segmentation and modelling so you can spend less time cleaning and reconciling sources and more time using insight to make decisions.

National consistency at scale

Work from a single, consistent view across England & Wales rather than a patchwork of fragmented local formats making reporting and benchmarking far easier.

FAQs

Is this data scraped?

No - our data is provided via licensed access to structured data taken directly from the Planning Portal submission process, meaning it comes straight from the source.

What types of organisations do you work with?

We work with commercial and advisory organisations across the built environment, PropTech, retail, utilities, finance, and related sectors where planning insight supports decision-making.

Can I see sample fields before we commit?

Yes, make an enquiry and we’ll discuss your requirements, then we’ll share examples aligned to your goals.

What does “earlier than public registers or other providers” mean?

Planning applications are captured at submission, while public register publishing varies by provider. That can create a significant time gap causing delays and mis-information risks.

How is the data delivered?

Access options include dataset delivery, feed/API integration, enrichment, or tailored outputs depending on your use case and technical needs.

Do you provide historical data as well as new applications?

We can support both ongoing planning activity signals and historical analysis depending on the access package. The update frequency can then depend on the access method (dataset vs feed/API). We’ll confirm the right cadence based on your use case.

Is this compliant to use for outreach lead generation?

We support responsible commercial use cases. We’ll align on intended use and the right access approach during onboarding.

How quickly can we get started?

Once we understand your use case and access needs, we can share sample fields and documentation and move into onboarding.
