Planning applications give you an early insight into upcoming construction projects, helping you find potential customers before they’ve hired contractors or chosen suppliers. With Planbase, you can easily track relevant projects and reach out to decision-makers at the right time—helping you secure more jobs without wasting time chasing leads.
Planbase updates planning applications every day, so you get the latest leads as soon as they are made public. This gives you a first-mover advantage over competitors who rely on slower updates.
Yes, we track and update planning applications from all local councils across the UK. However, we do not include applications related to hazardous substances or licensing, retrospective approvals, or amendments to existing planning conditions. Our focus is on applications that represent new business opportunities for contractors and suppliers.
Yes. You can refine your search based on location, project type, property type, and estimated project value. This helps you target the most profitable opportunities without sifting through irrelevant data.
For each project, we provide the end client’s name and address. Emails and phone numbers are not usually available for homeowners, but if you want to contact the architect, we provide the agent’s name, address, and where possible, their telephone number and email. Architects are often the best point of contact for larger projects, as they influence material and contractor choices.
Direct mail is highly effective for reaching homeowners and architects, as they are more likely to open and read a physical letter than an email. A letter is harder to ignore, feels more professional, and is ideal for targeting homeowners planning renovations. With Planbase, you can create and send personalised letters at scale, ensuring your message gets in front of the right people at the right time.
Yes. If an application includes an architect’s contact details, you can email them directly instead of, or in addition to, sending a letter.
Our customers typically see a 1-3% response rate from letters. For example, if you send 100 letters, you might get one to three enquiries, often leading to profitable projects.
