Plota is planning data infrastructure and intelligence for the UK: the applications local authorities publish, checked daily, with the site's constraints and its decision history alongside them. Every record links back to the council's own, which remains the official source for documents, comments, deadlines and decisions. We publish a monthly index of how the UK planning and land platforms compare on audience.
