What PlanWatch Is Tracking in Castle Point

PlanWatch currently holds 490 Castle Point planning records across 334 unique postcode locations, with tracked application dates from 2025-07-09 to 2026-10-23. The most common categories in this dataset are Householder (228), Full (134), Change of Use (28).

Use this page to start with a postcode search, then open the official council record for the decision notice, drawings, consultation deadline and any later conditions. That matters because a short application description rarely shows the details neighbours and buyers care about: side windows, roof forms, access, drainage, tree works, opening hours or amended plans.

Check approved drawings
