Planning permission search engine?

[gingerpaul]

Hi all. Does anyone know of a search engine that displays planning applications in a particular area? I'm 99% sure that I found a site that overlaid planning applications for the whole country on Google Maps but I can't find it. I'm starting to wonder if I dreamt it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not aware of a planning application search for the whole country but would be interested to know if there is one.

Each local authority now has an online planning portal; some (e.g. Stratford on Avon) allow you to search on a map, others require an address. Not sure if that's what you're thinking of.

That's annoying... I posted something aaaages ago that was a map based, planning application search engine and I can't remember where it was! I shall do some digging.....

There is a UK Planning portal but it only discusses planning rules etc etc.

To see actual applications you have to go to the site of the planning authority concerned.

Your local planning office web site will have a link to the planning portal which has the info you require.

Well wadayaknow, that's it! Perfect, thank you very much! If you posted it before I probably found it on here in the first place.
