Radius search
Search within a radius of a postcode or coordinate, then combine that with keywords, status, dates, and application type.
Source context
Return source and council metadata so downstream users can verify records against the original public planning source.
Webhook workflows
Turn postcode monitoring into alerts for properties, areas, portfolios, branches, customer accounts, or sales territories.
Why postcode search matters for planning data
Most planning workflows start with a place: a home, site, branch, postcode sector, investment area, or customer address. Council boundaries are useful, but users usually ask a simpler question: what is happening near here?
PlanWire is designed for that question. It lets you query nearby applications and return consistent fields that can be shown in maps, reports, CRM records, lead lists, and customer-facing alerts.
