Planning

The report highlights likely planning and development changes within the vicinity of a residential property

Our Planning report highlights house extensions, small and large developments within the last 10 years, data on Air Quality Management Areas and modelled data, neighbourhood information and planning constraints such as Listed Buildings and Building Conservation Areas.

Our intelligent locality information allows for variable search distances depending on the property’s location:

Mega urban areas – 250m for large projects, 75m for small projects and 50m for house extensions

Urban areas – 500m for large projects, 125m for small projects and 50m for house extensions
