Find development land, screen planning constraints and run desktop feasibility studies in minutes — all from one platform covering 265+ official UK data layers.
Maplify is a land intelligence platform built for developers, housebuilders and land promoters who need to find sites, run feasibility studies and screen planning constraints without waiting on external desktop searches. Search any UK site by postcode, address, OS grid reference or Land Registry title number, or draw a boundary directly on the interactive map.
Instantly see Green Belt boundaries, Environment Agency flood zone mapping, brownfield land registers, housing site allocations, heritage designations, Tree Preservation Orders, coal mining risk and Land Registry ownership — all overlaid on the same map, ready to export as a feasibility report or block plan.
Every site an acquisitions team rules in or out costs time and money to research. Sites that turn out to sit in the Green Belt, high flood risk or a heritage-sensitive area are wasted effort if that's discovered after commissioning a paid desktop study. Screening constraints upfront, on one map, lets teams focus their budget on sites that are genuinely worth pursuing.
For housebuilders assessing large land parcels, housing allocations and local plan site references overlaid directly onto the map help prioritise sites already earmarked for development — reducing the number of speculative appraisals a land team needs to run each month.
Traditional development land research means checking Green Belt maps, flood risk data, conservation area boundaries and Land Registry titles across a dozen separate government websites — a process that can take the best part of a working day per site, or cost several hundred pounds if commissioned externally. Maplify unifies every one of these sources into a single searchable map, so a constraints screen that used to take hours takes minutes.
For a land team screening 10-20 sites a month, that difference adds up to meaningful savings in both consultant fees and staff time — freeing budget for the sites that make it through initial screening to a full feasibility study.
Search or draw a boundary around a candidate site on the map.
Switch on Green Belt, flood risk, heritage and brownfield land layers to screen it.
Check Land Registry ownership to understand who owns the site and adjoining land.
Generate a site feasibility report or block plan to share with your acquisitions team.
Save promising sites to your workspace to track through the pipeline.

How do property developers use Maplify to find development land?
Developers search by postcode, address, OS grid reference or Land Registry title number, or draw a site boundary directly on the map, then instantly overlay brownfield registers, housing allocations, Green Belt and flood zone data to shortlist genuine development opportunities.
Can Maplify replace a full planning consultant desktop study?
Maplify is a screening and due-diligence tool that surfaces official constraint data in minutes rather than days. It speeds up early-stage feasibility, but formal planning advice and pre-application discussions with the local planning authority are still recommended before committing to a scheme.
How much time does Maplify save on site appraisal?
Checking Green Belt, flood risk, heritage and Land Registry data across separate government portals for one site typically takes the best part of a working day; the same check on Maplify takes minutes, letting acquisitions teams screen a shortlist of sites in the time it used to take to research one.
What planning constraints can I check for a development site?
Green Belt, flood zones, conservation areas, listed buildings, Article 4 directions, Tree Preservation Orders, ancient woodland, contaminated land, coal mining risk, agricultural land classification and more — over 265 official UK data layers in total.
Can I export a constraints map for a planning application or investor pack?
Yes. Generate a professional site feasibility report or A3 block plan directly from your search, ready to share with acquisitions teams, investors or planning consultants.
Does Maplify include Land Registry ownership data for site assembly?
Yes. Maplify integrates HM Land Registry title boundaries and company ownership records, helping developers identify assembly opportunities and confirm who owns adjoining land.
Search any UK site and screen planning constraints in minutes — no downloads, no setup.
