Plota brings UK planning applications and planning permission records into ChatGPT. Ask about any address, postcode, street or council in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and get the applications themselves: the proposal, status and decision, key dates, and a link to the official council record.
What you can ask:
- What has been applied for at or near an address, and what is pending next door
- Everything about one site in a single answer: its applications, related amendments and appeals, larger -housing schemes nearby, and planning constraints such as flood zones, conservation areas, listed buildings and green belt
- How long a council takes to decide planning applications, and how often it approves them
- Planning appeals and their outcomes, and planning permissions that are about to lapse
- New applications by type, size or number of homes, across a town, a council or the whole country
Used by homeowners checking what is planned nearby, and by architects, planning consultants, developers, property professionals and suppliers tracking new work. Records are collected daily from council planning registers, and every answer links back to its source.
