Planning portals directory

Links to local planning authority public search pages across England. Use these to find live applications and comment on the council’s own system.

Honest label: this is a directory of council planning portals, not a live national list of every application. National open data for residential schemes is still incomplete — until that improves, these links are the reliable way to find and support applications near you. The list is a starter set and will grow; some URLs may change when councils reorganise their sites.

Showing 179 of 179 authorities in this starter list.

Councils reorganise sites often. Email us the council name, the dead URL, and a better one if you have it — that keeps the directory honest without waiting for a full crawl.
