PlotbeaconHeard Ed on Giant Robots? This is Plotbeacon.
Plotbeacon watches council planning portals and explains what is being proposed near you, in plain English, while there is still time to comment.
What it does
- Check planning near any postcode in the councils we cover.
- Read plain-English summaries of applications, without wading through council PDFs.
- See which councils are covered. See coverage
Who it is for
Residents first: anyone who wants to know what is planned on their street before the deadline to comment closes. Checking your own postcode is free.
Trades, land and property teams come next. Professional and team plans are in early access. See pricing
Where it stands
Plotbeacon is in beta. Coverage grows council by council.
Plotbeacon is built and run by Bannermedia Ltd, a UK company.
What's next
- More councils. We are adding planning authorities to the map one by one.
- More help before you apply. Today the Extension check takes a postcode and lists the constraints on that site, such as flood zones, conservation areas and listed buildings nearby. Next, it will help you check your own plan before you send it to the council.
