Browse planning applications from all 312 UK local councils. Select your council to see recent applications, track decisions, and set up alerts.
Planning applications are formal requests submitted to local councils for permission to carry out development work. This includes house extensions, new builds, change of use, and large commercial developments. All planning applications are public records that anyone can view and comment on.
Planning Alerts combines source-labelled planning application information from council portals, the official PlanningData.gov.uk API, and—in some areas—PlanIt data. We link to the originating source where available and keep the sources distinct for rights controls.
