Live demo · Shoreham-by-Sea

Planning risk. In three dimensions.

Flood zones. Listed buildings. Every application since 2016, on a time scrubber. Plus two layers no council publishes: stalled consents, and sites about to start.

One postcode district, BN43. A worked example, not a coverage map.

What you actually get

Real coverage, transparent freshness, native adapters for every UK portal family. The infrastructure beneath your product, your workflow, or your dashboard.

Unified schema

One JSON shape across every council. Idox, Civica, Northgate, Swift, Ocella, NI Portal, Acolnet — same fields, same types, the portal-specific quirks normalised away.

Verifiable freshness

Every council exposes its scrape history: when it last ran, what it found, what errored. Click into any council and see the receipts.

Spatial and full-text search

Radius around any postcode, polygon containment for ward and parish queries, full-text across address, description, and reference. PostGIS-native, not bolted on.

Benchmarking & market intelligence

Approval rates, decision speed and trends back to 1979 for every UK authority — official MHCLG figures — plus live application volumes, type-mix and the most-active agents from our own feed. On paid plans.

Webhooks, not polling

Signed callbacks the moment an application appears or its status changes. Retries, replay for missed events, filter by council, postcode prefix, or saved query.

Boundary-aware coverage

360+ councils today, including the hard ones: shared Idox tenants like Adur+Worthing routed via PostGIS point-in-polygon, NI Planning Portal, National Park Authorities, custom DEF installs.

Developer-first, fair pricing

OpenAPI 3 docs, consistent pagination, meaningful error messages. Free tier to prototype, paid plans that scale linearly with usage. No sales calls.

Query it from your AI

PlanNexus runs as an MCP server — wire it into Claude or ChatGPT and ask for applications, contacts and constraints in plain English. Free to connect; contacts unlock on a paid key.

Simple, transparent pricing

Start free. Scale as you grow.
