Common questions
- Which councils do you cover?
- Every London borough, all major metros, plus 200+ shire and unitary authorities — 330+ in total. Coverage page shows which councils were scraped in the last 48 hours.
- How fast does an alert arrive after filing?
- We scrape every active council multiple times per day. New applications usually appear in your digest within hours of being filed at the council.
- Can I filter by postcode area or specific council?
- Yes. Use full postcode prefixes (e.g. SW1, KT12) or limit to a specific council. Combine with keyword filters like 'extension', 'change of use', 'loft conversion'.
- Does this work for residential AND commercial?
- Yes. The keyword filter searches both the description and the address, so 'change of use' picks up commercial conversions, 'office to residential' picks up Class E moves, etc.
- What does it cost?
- Free tier covers 10 saved alerts and 1,000 API requests a month — enough for most independent agencies. Starter at £99/month covers higher volumes and webhooks.
- Is this legal? It's public data, right?
- Yes. Planning applications are published by councils in the public interest. We aggregate and normalise the public record into one feed. See our Terms for the full licensing detail.
