What's Included in Your Planning Constraints Report
Your planning constraints report checks the site you draw against every layer in Maplify's fixed planning registry — including Green Belt, Flood Zones 2 and 3, conservation areas, listed buildings, scheduled monuments, SSSIs, AONBs, National Parks, ancient woodland, Article 4 directions, tree preservation orders, contaminated land, radon risk, coal mining risk, source protection zones, public rights of way and housing site allocations. Each applicable layer gets its own page with a map, a plain-English explanation of what it means for your site, and recommended next steps, alongside an executive summary and local planning application history.
Same Report as the Interactive Map Viewer
This standalone ordering page produces exactly the same planning constraints report you'd get from Maplify's interactive map viewer — search your postcode, draw the boundary, and answer a few short questions about your site, all without needing to open the full map tool.
Planning Constraints Reports for Due Diligence and Planning Applications
Before committing to a purchase, submitting a planning application, or advising a client, it pays to know whether a site sits in the Green Belt, a conservation area, a flood zone, or near a listed building or SSSI. This report gives you a documented, instant starting point covering every layer in the registry — so you can identify material constraints early and know what to confirm with the local planning authority or a qualified planning consultant.
A screening tool, not a substitute for professional advice
This report is designed for early-stage planning constraints screening. It does not constitute formal planning advice — always confirm critical matters with a qualified planning consultant or the relevant local planning authority.

Every Planning Layer Checked, and Why It Matters
Important Limitations
- This report checks a fixed set of planning-related datasets for spatial intersection with your drawn boundary — it does not constitute formal planning advice.
- Drawn boundaries are capped at 20 acres; larger sites should be split into smaller sections.
- Data is sourced from third-party government and public datasets which Maplify does not control and cannot guarantee are complete, current or error-free.
- A layer marked as not applicable reflects the result of this automated check only, not a formal search result.
