How to Search Planning Applications

Search by postcode

Enter any UK postcode to find planning applications near that location. Results are ordered by date received, with the most recent applications shown first. You can filter by status — undecided, permitted, refused, or withdrawn — to narrow your results.

Search by address or description

Use the description search to find applications by keyword — for example, "extension", "solar panels", or a specific street name. This searches across all application descriptions and addresses in our database of 290+ UK councils.

Set up email alerts

Once you've searched for a postcode, you can set up a free email alert to be notified whenever a new planning application is submitted near that location. Choose your alert radius — from 50 metres to 0.6 miles — and receive daily or weekly digest emails.

Understanding planning statuses

Undecided — the application is under consideration and open for public comment. Permitted — planning permission has been granted. Refused — the application was rejected by the council. Withdrawn — the applicant withdrew the application before a decision was made.
