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.
Real coverage, transparent freshness, native adapters for every UK portal family. The infrastructure beneath your product, your workflow, or your dashboard.
One JSON shape across every council. Idox, Civica, Northgate, Swift, Ocella, NI Portal, Acolnet — same fields, same types, the portal-specific quirks normalised away.
Every council exposes its scrape history: when it last ran, what it found, what errored. Click into any council and see the receipts.
Radius around any postcode, polygon containment for ward and parish queries, full-text across address, description, and reference. PostGIS-native, not bolted on.
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.
Signed callbacks the moment an application appears or its status changes. Retries, replay for missed events, filter by council, postcode prefix, or saved query.
375+ planning authorities 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.
OpenAPI 3 docs, consistent pagination, meaningful error messages. Free tier to prototype, paid plans that scale linearly with usage. No sales calls.
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.
