Instant AI analysis of your site's approval chances — backed by real comparable decisions from every English council, each linked to the original council record.
377,000+ planning decisions across 72 English councils — updated daily from local authority registers
Every council publishes planning applications differently. Searching their portals takes hours. Cross-authority pattern recognition is impossible at scale.
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.
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.
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.
Six tools in one — built for how planning professionals actually assess sites and advise clients.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All currently undecided planning applications in one place. Track competitor submissions, monitor planning officer decisions, spot opportunity in the pipeline before anyone else.
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.

Three things that set Planiverse apart from every other planning data tool.
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.
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.
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.
Choose from any covered English LPA in the dropdown. Planiverse instantly loads years of planning permission decisions, appeals and live applications — no scraping, no waiting.
Browse every planning application spatially on the map, or type a question directly to the AI advisor: "What's been approved on this street?" or "Show me refused householder applications in this ward."
The AI returns approval rates, comparable planning permission decisions, and ward hotspots — all drawn from verified council records, each linked back to the original planning portal entry.
Use the data to negotiate planning fees, advise clients on development potential, identify sites where the LPA has granted similar permissions, or strengthen a planning application with precedent evidence.
Whether you're appraising a development site or building a planning application case, Planiverse gives you the data behind the decision.
Site-find with confidence. Know which wards grant planning permission for schemes like yours before you spend on surveys or option agreements.
Brief clients accurately on planning risk. Find comparable permission decisions in minutes. Back every pre-application recommendation with verified council data.
Understand what the LPA approves before you invest in design. Check permitted development precedent and de-risk at feasibility stage.
Advise on development potential and planning permission prospects with live comparable decisions behind every conversation.
Every approved planning application is a potential job. Monitor approvals in your area and get alerted when new extensions, conversions, and new builds get the green light.
