Making Planning Intelligence Accessible to Everyone
The UK planning system affects millions of people every year, yet the information needed to navigate it remains fragmented, complex, and often inaccessible. PlanningCore exists to change that.
The Problem We Solve
Planning permission in the United Kingdom is one of the most complex regulatory processes that ordinary people and businesses encounter. Information is scattered across hundreds of council websites, buried in policy documents, and locked behind expensive consultant fees.
Fragmented Data
Planning information is spread across hundreds of council websites, government databases, and policy documents with no single point of access.
Impenetrable Complexity
From Use Classes to material considerations, the planning system uses specialist language and processes that exclude most people.
Expensive Advice
Professional planning consultants charge hundreds of pounds per hour, putting expert guidance out of reach for most homeowners and small developers.
Our Approach
PlanningCore replaces guesswork with intelligence. We aggregate publicly available planning data from across England and Wales, apply modern data analysis and AI, and present clear, actionable insights to anyone who needs them.
📊 Data-Driven Decisions
Every recommendation is backed by real approval rates, comparable decisions, and official constraint data. We show you the evidence, not just an opinion.
🎯 Guided Journey
Whether you are a first-time homeowner or a seasoned developer, our 10-stage journey guides you from initial idea through to planning permission and beyond.
