New applications reach you the day councils publish them, and undecided applications are checked every night for decisions.
Is Planning Signal free?
Yes. Search, watch applications and get alerts free, for ever. Paid plans add research tools, trade leads and condition alerts. See plans for the details.
Can I object to a planning application through Planning Signal?
You file your objection with the council, and we take you straight to the right page on their site and tell you exactly when the consultation window closes.
Do you cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?

Will you share my email or postcode?
