PlanWire

A normalised national archive and live stream of UK planning applications: 18.4 million application records spanning 382 local planning authorities with 375 councils monitored live. Each record carries council, source link and freshness metadata, UPRN property identifier where available, document metadata for provenance, and a normalised decision outcome (approved / refused / withdrawn / other / unknown) alongside full lifecycle dates (application, received, validated, decision) plus first-seen/last-seen observation timestamps. Sold as a REST API with search, postcode and radius queries, durable signed webhooks, exports, enrichment layers (property flags, historical intelligence, market evidence) and an MCP server for agent access.
