Before you spend a lot on a site, spend a little.
Site Intelligence helps developers, landowners and investors decide whether a site is worth pursuing, before committing serious money to land, architects, planners or surveys. Enter a postcode for a free instant constraints check, or order a full pack. A clear read in 48 hours.

The reports we produce
Auto-selected by your site's constraints. You only pay for what your site triggers.
Extension, loft, outbuilding or buying a plot — get a plain-English planning review before you spend.
Stop guessing.
Stop blocking.
The slow, expensive way is to commission specialist reports one by one and hope the site works. Weeks pass. Budgets drain on reports the site never needed. Decisions stall.
- Flood risk assessment£1,200
- Heritage impact assessment£2,500
- Preliminary ecological appraisal£1,800
- Geotechnical desk study£950
Specialist desktop reports run £800–£5,000 each. A fixed-price brief shows which ones your site actually triggers — before you commission any of them.
How it works
Three steps from site address to a source-traced desktop intelligence pack.
Tell us your site
Share the address, the development type, and the scale. That's all we need.
We detect constraints automatically
We cross-reference 130 authoritative datasets and run 200+ automated quality checks to map the constraints that apply and the specialist input your site is likely to need.
Receive your tailored report pack
Your desktop report pack arrives within 48 hours — every figure traced to source, every constraint mapped, and a clear steer on which specialists to instruct next.
How we bring it all together
Around 130 authoritative datasets, drawn together into one layered read of the site — then issued as one source-traced brief. Hover any source to see what it contributes.
Many authoritative sources, one clear brief.
Each dataset adds a layer the others can read. Flood informs viability, heritage shapes design, ground risk sets cost. They resolve into a single source-traced read — not a stack of disconnected PDFs.
- Environment Agency — Flood zones 2 & 3, surface-water risk
- Historic England — Listed buildings, conservation areas
- Natural England — SSSIs, priority habitats, BNG baseline
- British Geological Survey — Geology, made ground, radon
- Coal Authority — Mining legacy, stability
- Ordnance Survey — Boundary, topography, base map
- Planning Data Platform — Designations, allocations, policy
- HM Land Registry — Title extent, ownership context
- Department for Transport — Highways, access, traffic counts
What lands on your desk
A source-traced desktop brief — the site, what constrains it, what is likely feasible, and exactly which specialists to instruct. Flip through the sections.
The site, established
We fix the boundary against Ordnance Survey mapping and HM Land Registry title extent, then establish the developable area, topography and access frontage before any constraint is read.
- Area
- ≈ 1.4 ha gross
- Frontage

Indicative site layouts, generated alongside your evidence brief, showing what could fit within your boundary before you spend anything on design.
One email when it launches. We will not use your address for anything else.
The traditional route vs PF & Co
Not a replacement for your consultant team — a faster, source-traced route to the point where you instruct them well. A Tier 1 desktop brief, quality-checked and issued in 48 hours.
Real reports. Real sources. No black box.
Four cumulative products, every report drawn from authoritative government data — British Geological Survey, Environment Agency, Historic England, Natural England, and 126 more. Every figure traced to source. Every report run through 200+ automated quality checks before issue. If a planning officer asks "where did you get this?", one click.
Spend less. Spend smarter.
Before you commit serious money to land, architects, planners or surveys, get a structured, evidence-based read on planning risk, what the site can become, and whether to proceed. We don't replace your consultants; we help you brief the right ones, at the right time.
Decide in days
Coordinating separate firms for an early read takes weeks, and the decision waits on all of them. We give you one source-traced read in 48 hours, so you reach a confident proceed, pause or walk decision while it still changes the outcome.
Spend a little first
The wrong site, or the wrong strategy, can cost tens of thousands in abortive fees and reports the site never needed. A fixed-price read tells you whether a site is worth pursuing before you commit any of it. Small money, high decision value.
See the pricesOne joined-up view
Early evidence usually arrives as separate documents that never reference each other. Ours is one joined-up read — when flood mitigation adds £200k to your build costs, the viability picture already reflects it, so the decision is built on the whole picture.
We're not selling you another planning report. We're helping you avoid spending money on the wrong site, or the wrong strategy.
Built to keep your project moving
You place the order; we assemble the evidence, run the checks, and issue a source-traced brief within 48 hours. Your team keeps moving, and when a decision warrants extra assurance, an expert sign-off is available as an add-on.

We carry out the sign-off
A named personal sign-off or a chartered-planner review. The reviewer reads the whole brief, which is why it adds time beyond the 48 hours.
Built to the RICS standard on the responsible use of AI before it became mandatory on 9 March 2026. Automation does the heavy lifting: every brief runs through 200+ automated quality checks before issue, and a named personal sign-off or chartered-planner review is available as an add-on when you want it.
Trusted data sources
We use the same authoritative datasets that planning officers rely on — government, regulated-industry and partnership sources.
