- Date - set any range back to 2016, or look at the last 14, 30, or 90 days.
- Status - pending applications or decided ones.
- Development type - new homes, extensions, change of use, commercial works, trees, listed buildings, and more.
- Number of homes - isolate larger residential schemes.
Results appear as a list and on a map, and every application links to the record on the council's own planning register.
How this differs from a local land charges search
Plota searches the planning registers councils publish online. That makes it useful for checking a property's planning history before an offer, seeing what neighbours have applied for, or researching an area's development activity.
A formal local land charges search (the LLC1 and CON29 forms ordered from the council during conveyancing) is a legal product. It can include enforcement notices, planning agreements, conditions, and other charges that do not always appear in the public register. Plota is a research tool and does not replace that search.
