About PlanPulse
The problem
The UK planning system is fragmented. Every council runs its own planning portal, each with a different interface and built for administrators rather than the professionals who depend on the data. Keeping track of applications across several local planning authorities means visiting site after site and checking each one by hand.
What we do
PlanPulse brings planning application data together in one place. We retrieve and normalise data from council portals — whether they run on Idox, Northgate, Uniform, MasterGov or SWICT — into a single, consistent dashboard. Search across councils, save the applications that matter to you, view them on a map, and receive an email the moment a tracked application changes status.
Who it's for
PlanPulse is built for property professionals — developers, planning consultants, surveyors, architects and estate agents — who need to monitor planning applications across multiple authorities without the manual legwork.
Our approach
We believe a single source of truth saves time and reduces the risk of missing an important update. By presenting public planning data clearly and alerting you to changes automatically, PlanPulse lets you spend less time checking portals and more time acting on what you find.
Independence
PlanPulse operates independently. We are not affiliated with any council, local planning authority or government body — we simply aggregate publicly available planning information and present it in a more useful form. Always verify important details directly with the relevant local planning authority.
