Get these leads in your own tools
The API and the MCP tool planning_leads return every scheme with status changes, the company applicant with its Companies House number and website, and the construction contracts the same company has won. Contractors that bid on public work can also get a weekly shortlist of open tenders that fit them: Bid Desk.

Data as of 2026-10-25. Ireland publishes no applicant, so Irish rows show the scheme only; UK applicants are shown only when a legal entity. Commercial and residential schemes of ten or more units are kept by rule on the description, so some schemes are missed and a few small ones slip in. A planning application is not a building contract: check the authority's record before relying on a row. Independent of the planning authorities.
