Planning Search
Overview
Property Prospector can check for planning applications in a given region of the UK.
It is recommended to see what sort of planning permission might be granted near a property before you buy it - property values can change based on nearby construction, changes of use to neighboring properties, and so on.
Planning applications can be shown as a list or on a map, and Property Prospector includes a planning monitor to automatifcally keep up with the areas you're thinking of buying in.
Searching by Postcode
The Planning Search takes a postcode and some other filters:
- Postcode - the postcode of the area you want to search in. You can use a full or partial postcode.
- + 1 mile - if you use a full postcode, the search will be in a radius around the property - this can range from 0.25 miles up to 10 miles. For a partial postcode, the search is by region.
- Decided - filter by decided or pending applications.
- Date range - filter out older planning applications, or view them for historical data.
You can show the results as a list, or on a map for visual reference.
Monitoring Planning Applications
After running a search, a new button appears: Monitor for new applications.
Clicking this will set up a planning monitor in your PaTMa account. You'll be notified by email when new planning applications that fit the search criteria are found.
