What Is a Planning Constraints Report?

A planning constraints report summarises every planning, environmental and heritage designation affecting a site — Green Belt, flood zones, conservation areas, listed buildings, Article 4 directions, contaminated land and more — in a single document. Maplify generates this report free of charge for any site you draw on the map, so you can screen a plot before committing time or money to a full professional search.

Draw Your Site

Outline your site boundary directly on the map, or search by address, postcode or title number.

Layers Checked Automatically

Every relevant planning, flood, heritage and environmental layer is checked against your site boundary.

What's Included in Your Free Report

Each free planning constraints report includes an executive summary of overall site complexity, a breakdown of every applicable layer with a plain-English explanation of what it means for your proposal, and recommended next steps for each constraint identified — from Green Belt policy tests to flood risk mitigation and heritage considerations.

A screening tool, not a substitute for professional advice

Your free planning constraints report is designed for early-stage site screening. Always verify critical planning, environmental and legal matters with the relevant local planning authority or a qualified planning consultant before submitting an application or exchanging contracts.

Why Generate a Free Report First

Ordering a full planning constraints report before you've screened a site can waste time and money on land that was never viable. Running a free Maplify report first lets you quickly rule out sites with fatal constraints, prioritise your shortlist, and only commission detailed professional searches on the sites that matter.
