marketcodeDesignations live in a dozen places
Heritage bodies, the Environment Agency, the council. We put them on one parcel.
PLANNING CHECKS
Every constraint on the site. One view.
Planning authority, heritage, trees, flood and ecology, over the title and the buildings around it. Know what you’re dealing with before the pre-app.
For planning consultants, architects, developers.
THE PROBLEM
Why it’s hard today.
A constraint means nothing out of context
See the plot, its neighbours and the street. Zoom from authority to building without leaving the map.
Checks nobody can trace
Every layer shows its source. Your site note says what’s recorded and what’s missing.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps.
Find the site
Place, postcode or parcel.
Stack the layers

What you see
- Planning authority boundaries
- Title extents and buildings
- Conservation areas and listed buildings

- Flood zones, SSSIs, ancient woodland
- Green belt and Article 4 where published

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Before you ask.
Does this replace a planning search?+
No. It pulls the published designations together. Policy and allocations still come from the authority.
Do you show planning applications?+
Where a source publishes them, with coverage shown. No history is not a clean history.
Can I look at neighbouring buildings?+
Yes. Parcels, buildings and units, down to street level.
