Property Planning Report — Planning Applications Near a House You're Buying | PlanWatch
One-off report · No subscription · £14.99

See every planning application near the house you're buying

Before you exchange, know what's happening around the property. A pending block of flats 200m away, an approved-but-unbuilt extension next door, or a change of use down the street can all change how a home feels — and what it's worth. Enter the property's postcode for a free preview, then order the full report.

Information, not advice. PlanWatch tracks live and recent planning applications from 378 UK planning authorities. How much each council publishes — and how quickly — varies, so treat this report as a due-diligence aid alongside, not instead of, formal conveyancing searches and professional advice. Always verify anything material on the council's own planning portal.
