Planning history search for any site
See what the council has decided near the red line, then open the application records that matter.
In short
LandBuyer AI searches the planning history around a red line and lists applications by status and distance. You filter by proposal, type of work, radius, date and size, browse free previews, then choose which full records to open. On Kew Yard, four of five applications within 800 m were approved and one is pending.

FAQ
Planning history questions
Short answers to what land teams ask us before a demo.
How do I search planning history around a site?
Start from the red line. The search runs from the site centre with a radius you set, 3 miles on Kew Yard at PR9 7RS. You then filter by proposal, type of work, date and status.
Are full planning records free?
Previews are free to browse. Full records are priced before you open them, and records you have saved stay open without paying again.
Does it show refused and withdrawn applications?
Yes. Approved, refused, pending and withdrawn decisions are kept separate. Kew Yard's 800 m search finds four approved, none refused and one pending.
Does it read the local plan policy?
Yes. The AI insight reads the adopted plan for the policies that apply. On Kew Yard it finds Policy HC1, which requires affordable housing from 15 net dwellings.
