Who it is for
Planning research software for consultants
Planning history, policy, constraints and the application checklist for any site, drafted into a pre-application appraisal.
In short
LandBuyer AI gives planning consultants the research behind a pre-application appraisal: nearby applications and decisions, the adopted policy, mapped designations, S106 precedent, ecology and the local validation checklist. Each check opens with an AI insight cited to its source, and the appraisal is drafted from the saved evidence.
The decision
Find the planning case and what it will take
Your client wants to know whether the site can win consent and what the application needs. On Kew Yard four of five nearby applications were approved and one is pending.
The checks that matter
Checks planning consultants rely on
-
Planning
Nearby decisions show the local precedent. Within 800 m, four were approved and one is pending.
-
Constraints
Designations shape what the scheme can be. Kew Yard is on the brownfield land register.
-
Planning application checklist
The validation list for this authority, before you scope the reports. Sefton lists 16 local items.
-
S106
Precedent agreements show likely contributions. Sefton has filed 11, securing 424 affordable homes.
-
Biodiversity net gain
An estimated allowance for net gain, from mapped ground cover, before the ecologist is appointed.
-
Affordable housing
Affordable policy shapes the scheme. Policy HC1 applies from 15 net homes.
The report

FAQ
Questions from planning consultants
Short answers to what land teams ask us before a demo.
Does LandBuyer AI search planning history around a site?
Yes. It finds applications and decisions near the red line and summarises the outcomes. You choose which full application records to open, and those use credits.
Does it show the local validation checklist?
Yes. The planning application checklist lists the local items for the authority alongside the national baseline documents, so you can scope the reports the application needs.
Can it draft the appraisal for our client?
Yes. The report builder drafts a planning, constraints and ecology appraisal from the saved checks, with a source and date beside every finding, ready for you to edit. Requisitions to the applicant can be drafted from the same evidence.
Is there a separate mode for planning consultants?
No. Planning consultants use the land buying setup, with every planning, constraints and ecology check available on each site and the planning appraisal ready to draft for your client from the saved evidence.
