Important Notice
PlanWatch is an information service only. We aggregate publicly available planning data but are not responsible for its accuracy or completeness. Always verify information directly with the relevant local planning authority.
Data Sources and Accuracy
PlanWatch collects planning application data from multiple sources including the UK Government's Planning Data platform, individual local authority planning portals, and public statutory registers. While we make every effort to ensure data accuracy and timeliness, we cannot guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free.
Planning applications may be amended, withdrawn, or decided differently than shown on our platform. The official source of truth for any planning application is always the relevant local planning authority's own planning portal and records.
No Legal or Professional Advice
The information provided by PlanWatch does not constitute legal, planning, or professional advice. We do not provide guidance on planning law, procedure, or strategy. If you need advice regarding planning applications, objections, or the planning process generally, you should consult a qualified planning consultant, solicitor, or other professional advisor.
PlanWatch makes no representation that using our service will influence the outcome of any planning application or guarantee your ability to comment on or object to any proposal.
