Planning leads for architects and planning consultants
Not the householder extension market. This preset is the work that carries a fee — new dwellings, outline consents, permission in principle, offices and barns becoming homes — and it includes the refusals, which are the ones looking for a different architect.
A trade only gets a page here when the search returns at least 1,000 applications in 90 days and clears 20 in at least 35 separate councils. Two numbers, because one of them lies: solar clears the first on its own and has never once cleared the second, and a page built on the national total alone would promise something that becomes nothing wherever you actually work. Counted on 24 August 2026.
The saved search behind this page
This is not a marketing page with a query hidden behind it. Applying it writes a real saved search onto your account: change the councils, change the date window, change the decision state, rename it or throw it away.
What it filters on:
trade=architects.
Included in the £39 plan and on the free tier — it is not
a separate product and there is nothing extra to buy.
