The planning system is costing you money

Every council publishes planning applications differently. Searching their portals takes hours. Cross-authority pattern recognition is impossible at scale.

💸

Thousands lost on applications that should never have been submitted

Every year, developers and homeowners waste money on planning applications that get refused — for reasons that comparable decisions nearby would have predicted. The data existed. Nobody was using it.

⏱️

Your consultant charges £3,000+ for what data could tell you in seconds

Planning consultants manually search council portals for comparable decisions to assess your chances. It takes hours and costs thousands. The same analysis can be done instantly from structured data — if you have it.

🔍

The council already told you the answer. You just couldn't find it.

Every approval and refusal near your site is a data point. Together, they reveal the council's real decision patterns — not what the policy says, but what actually happens. Planiverse makes that visible.

Everything you need to make the call

Six tools in one — built for how planning professionals actually assess sites and advise clients.

🗺️

Planning permission map

Every planning permission application plotted on a live map — approved in green, refused in red, pending in amber. Filter by application type, date range, ward or draw a custom area.

🤖

AI feasibility advisor

Ask in plain English: "What's the approval rate for two-storey rear extensions in this ward?" or "Has the council allowed flats above shops on this street?" Instant, data-backed answers.

⚖️

Comparable planning decisions

Automatically surfaces the most relevant planning permission precedents for any proposal — same area, same application type, last 3 years — with links back to the original council portal records.

📍

Development site-finding

Tell the AI what you want to build. It identifies which wards and streets have approved the most similar planning applications — pinpointed on the map with council reference numbers.

Live planning pipeline

All currently undecided planning applications in one place. Track competitor submissions, monitor planning officer decisions, spot opportunity in the pipeline before anyone else.

📈

Approval rate trends

Approval rates by ward, planning officer, application type and time period. Understand where policy is tightening — and where the council is more likely to grant permission.

Real data. Every figure verifiable.

This is actual live data from Brighton & Hove Council's planning register — not a mockup. Every source link goes directly to the original council record.

Built different.

Three things that set Planiverse apart from every other planning data tool.

01

Every claim is verifiable

Unlike black-box reports, every statistic and comparable case in Planiverse links directly to the original council portal record. Click any source link and verify it yourself. We show our working.

02

A conversation, not a report

Ask a question. Get an answer. Ask a follow-up. Refine the analysis. Planiverse is an interactive planning advisor, not a static PDF. The more context you give, the sharper the insight.

03

Built for independents, not enterprises

You don't need a £200/month data platform or a team of analysts. Planiverse gives sole practitioners, small developers, and independent architects the same planning intelligence that enterprise tools charge thousands for.
