Planning leads for planning consultants: find the schemes that need your expertise
Outline applications, major schemes and complex sites near you, in your inbox the day councils publish them.
The schemes that need a planning consultant are the ones with the most at stake: outline applications, housing schemes, heritage sites and changes of use. Every one of them appears in the planning register with the applicant and agent named.
Planning Signal Leads sends you those schemes the day the council publishes them. You see who is promoting land in your patch, which agents are stretched, and which owners will need help with the next stage.
The jobs you will see
Outline applications
Land owners and promoters testing sites, who need a consultant for reserved matters, viability and the next stage.
Housing schemes
Set a minimum of 4, 10 or 50 homes and see only the schemes worth advising on.
Heritage and listed sites
Applications affecting listed buildings and conservation areas, where heritage statements win work.
Changes of use
Offices, shops and barns converting to new uses, with policy questions to solve.
Self-builders
Owners applying on their own for a new house, who need professional help to get it through.
Agricultural and rural sites
Barn conversions and rural prior approvals where policy knowledge makes the difference.

Why a planning lead beats a bought lead
A bought lead is a name on a form, sold to three or four firms at once. A planning lead is an owner who has paid for drawings, filed an application and put their address on the public record. They have committed to the project in writing, and they still need the people to build it.
You are not fighting a crowd for the same click. You reach the owner directly, with the full proposal in front of you, and you open the conversation knowing exactly what they want built.
Clients choose consultants they hear from early. A planning lead lets you introduce your practice while the scheme is still forming, not after it has run into trouble.
You also see which agents and rival consultancies are active in each council, so you know where the work is and who you are up against.
Picture the week: three outline applications in your district, a heritage scheme on a listed mill and a self-builder applying alone for a house in the green belt. You introduce your practice to each one first.
Three steps to your first lead
Tell us the work you want
Pick your trade and add the words that describe your best jobs, from loft conversion to listed building. The more precise your words, the sharper your leads.
Set your patch
Draw a radius of 5 to 75 miles around your postcode, or cover whole councils. Add more than one area if you work in more than one place.
Win the job
Matching jobs land in your inbox in one email a day. Open the lead, make the call and win the work before anyone else has heard of it.
Everything you need to make the call
- The site address and what the owner wants to build
- The applicant, plus the agent firm and its business contact
- A direct link to the full application and drawings
Only real work reaches you. New applications and fresh approvals, never the paperwork that follows a permission and never last spring's backlog.
Work every lead to a win
Every lead lands in your pipeline. Mark it contacted when you call, quoted when you price it and won when the job is yours. You always know which owners to chase, which quotes are waiting and how much work your leads have brought in.
Get found as well as finding work
Leads comes with your free directory profile. Add your projects, photos and service area, and owners searching for your trade near them see you and the work you have done.
Applications that bring you work
Your questions, answered
Which schemes will I see?
Outline applications, housing schemes, heritage applications, changes of use and self-build plots in the areas you choose.
Can I filter by scheme size?
Yes. Set a minimum of 4, 10 or 50 homes and you only get residential schemes of that size or larger.
Can I cover several councils?
Yes. Add whole councils, a radius of 5 to 75 miles around a postcode, or both.
Who is behind each scheme?
Every lead shows the applicant and the agent firm with its business contact, so you know who is promoting the site.
