Why government data works for property developers
Track planning applications in your target areas
Planning portal data covers every planning application submitted in England. Filter by local authority, application type, and status to monitor exactly the developments relevant to your business.
Find developers before they need you
A submitted planning application is a signal that a developer is active in an area. Reach them before the project breaks ground — before they have their full supply chain in place.
Monitor competitor activity
Planning applications are public record. Track what is being built in your target geography by whom, at what scale, and at what stage.
Identify landowners and applicants
Planning applications include the applicant name and agent — often the developer or their planning consultant. Cross-reference with Companies House for entity details.
Target new homeowners and businesses
Approved planning applications for new residential or commercial developments identify future occupants — your next potential customers for services, installations, or supplies.
“We use planning application data to find residential developments that need landscaping before they even break ground. Our conversion rate from this source is double any other channel.”— Director, Landscaping and Garden Services Company
