Free planning data tool

Search planning
applications by postcode

Most homeowners and developers have no idea what their local planning authority has approved or refused nearby — until a project hits a wall. This tool changes that.

Enter any UK postcode and instantly see real planning decisions from councils across England. Filter by decision status, radius and date, and link through to the full application on the council portal — all without creating an account.

Whether you are assessing feasibility for an extension or a loft conversion, understanding what has been approved nearby is the sensible first step before commissioning house extension drawings.

Without checking

Going in without the data

  • × No idea what the council has approved or refused for similar properties
  • × Unaware of refusal patterns that could sink your application
  • × No sense of how planning officers treat specific extension types locally
  • × Spending on drawings before understanding the local planning climate
  • × Finding out too late that a scheme has been refused twice on your street

Data is the starting point — design is the next step

Knowing what the local authority has approved nearby gives you the confidence to move forward — or the evidence to rethink before spending anything on drawings.

If your search shows strong approval rates for the extension type you have in mind, the next step is understanding what your own property can specifically achieve. Our Extension Potential Checker combines nearby planning data with permitted development limits, conservation area flags and flood zone checks to give you a property-level feasibility snapshot in minutes.

From there, our architectural services team takes you from initial feasibility through to a full planning submission. We produce building regulation drawings for local authority submission alongside single storey, double storey and flat conversion schemes. Our structural engineers coordinate directly with the design team so nothing falls between the gaps.

If you need a party wall surveyor alongside your project, that sits under the same roof. Use our build cost calculator for an early budget sense, or contact the team directly for a same-day fixed fee quote.
