Why is the data important?

Spotting Value Beyond Asking Price

Typical land valuations don't account for the full uplift that planning can create - but developers know that's where true opportunity lies.

This report goes beyond surface-level values to highlight councils where planning decisions generate the most uplift in developable land - giving you an edge in land sourcing, strategy, and negotiation.

Our data combines planning permissions and ownership records with modelled land values to give a clearer picture of where the most profitable planning outcomes are happening.

This isn't just a list - it's a strategic map of where land is becoming more valuable by the day.
