What's Included in Your Planning Applications Report
Your planning applications report lists every application found within the area you draw, sourced live from planit.org.uk. Each entry includes its reference number, address, description of the proposed works, status (Granted, Refused, Pending or Withdrawn), the deciding local planning authority, and decision date where recorded. The report opens with a summary page showing the total number of applications found and a breakdown by status, followed by the full listing.
Planning Application Search by Postcode
Instead of manually panning and zooming to find your area, search any UK postcode directly above the map and it will jump straight to that location. This makes it fast to run a planning applications search for a specific neighbourhood, street or development area anywhere in the UK before drawing the exact boundary you want listed.
Understanding Local Planning Precedent
Before submitting a new application or making an offer on a site, it helps to know what's already been approved, refused or is pending nearby. This report gives you a single, documented list of every application within your chosen area — useful for gauging a local planning authority's typical approach, identifying recent development activity, and building a precedent list to support your own submission.
A listing tool, not a substitute for the source record
This report compiles application records for reference purposes. Always confirm the current status of any application directly with the relevant local planning authority before relying on it.

What Every Application Record Includes
Important Limitations
- This report lists applications whose recorded location falls within your drawn boundary, sourced from planit.org.uk.
- Drawn boundaries are capped at 20 acres; larger areas should be split into smaller sections.
- Coverage, completeness and update frequency depend on each local authority's own planning register and how promptly it is reflected in the source data, which Maplify does not control.
- A "Pending" status reflects the last known state — check the linked local authority record for the current live status before relying on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a planning applications report?
Search a UK postcode to find your area, click on the map to draw its boundary, click Finish Boundary, then fill in the details card that appears over the map — sign up when prompted, then pay £9.99 to instantly unlock your PDF planning applications report.
Can I search by postcode instead of drawing on the map manually?
Yes — enter any UK postcode above the map and it will jump straight to that location, so you only need to draw the area boundary itself.
Is there a maximum area size?
Yes, drawn boundaries are capped at 20 acres. If your area is larger, you can split it into smaller sections and order a report for each.
What does the planning applications report cover?
It lists every planning application found within your drawn boundary, sourced live from planit.org.uk, including reference number, address, description, status, deciding authority and decision date, plus a summary count by status.
How is this different from the Planning Constraints Report?

When can I download my report?
Your report is generated after sign-up and can be downloaded instantly once payment is confirmed — there is no waiting or manual processing.
How much does it cost?
A planning applications report costs £9.99 per area and is a one-off payment — there is no subscription required.
Where does the data come from?
Application records are sourced live from planit.org.uk, which aggregates planning application registers from local authorities across the UK.
