This free check
  • Instant — at a pinned point or a drawn outline
  • Public open-data designations (conservation area, Green Belt, flood zone, listed buildings, TPOs and more)
  • A general "what might affect this site?" orientation
  • England only
  • Not a planning assessment, and not covered by professional indemnity insurance
Your full report
A constraint-overlay map from a finished Site Intelligence report, showing designations mapped over the red-line site
  • Assesses your whole red-line site — not a single point
  • Cross-checks the council's own records, catching what the national platform hasn't published
  • Adds contaminated land, ground conditions, ecology, the detailed flood position, viability and a clear recommendation
  • Issued within 48 hours, with every figure traced to source and 200+ automated quality checks on every report
  • Optional add-on: a named personal sign-off or a chartered-planner review
