Coverage
UK planning data coverage
you can build on.
PlanWire tracks public planning application sources across the UK, normalises the records, and makes them available through one developer API. Use this page to understand coverage breadth, source freshness, regional reach, and portal diversity.
What coverage means in practice
A useful planning dataset needs more than a council count. Buyers need to know whether records are recent, whether they include source links, whether dates are present, and whether the same API shape works across different portal systems.
Public coverage should help you judge reliability quickly. Paid plans expose council-level coverage and freshness metadata through the API, so teams can confirm the specific sources that matter to their workflow.
Every application can include
Coverage signals that matter
Portal types
Coverage spans the main public planning portal families used by UK authorities, including Idox, Northgate, Ocella, Civica, Uniform-style systems, and selected local implementations.
Regions
PlanWire covers England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with priority attention on high-demand city regions and councils with frequent development activity.
Freshness
