Planning nearby
Applications around your home, nearest first: next door, then adjoining, then down the road. Address, proposal, days left to comment, and a link to the council record. Not a town-wide dump of every loft extension in the borough.
21days — planning next to your home
21 days.
That’s all you get.
21days watches the houses next to yours. Before an ugly extension is built, a beloved tree is chopped down, or your local shop is turned into flats. Councils in England often only stick a notice on a lamp post. Comments usually close in 21 days — including when the proposal is rewritten, and when something nearby is decided.

English planning authorities we read
How many of these are near you?
01 — What we do
A date, not a dashboard.
Name your postcode. We read the same English planning registers every morning and email you when something new matches your area. We also watch nearby house sales: a new owner is often the next person to apply.
-
01
Name the place
Your postcode. One application is £5.99. Monthly is two miles, with alerts. Yearly is ten miles.
Your street
Focused on your street, not every application in the district.
-
02
We watch the portal
We alert you for anything new, anything that changes, and when something nearby is permitted or refused.
The window
We alert when it appears. That is when the clock starts. If the council published a close date, days left are in the email.
-
03
You comment there
Objections belong on the council site. We only make sure you still can. We are not the council, and we do not decide the application.
Amendments
If the proposal is rewritten, you hear in English — not a wall of PDF text.
-
04
We watch sales
Recent completions from Land Registry. New owners are the ones most likely to apply for work next — a signal that something may start near you before a notice goes up.
Sold houses
Not a price list. Nearby sales, so you can see who may change a house next.
Follow one application for £5.99, the street for £6.99 a month (two miles), or £59.99 a year (ten miles).
02 — The problem
Most people find out after the window has shut.
For many householder applications the council may site-notice or write only to adjoining occupiers — not the whole street. By the time you see the skip, comments have often already closed.
01 — Search
Nearest first, with days left.
Open comments around a postcode. These three are live on the Brighton register.
- Address, proposal, and the council reference
- Days left on the card
- Nearest first, not a borough-wide list
02 — The application
The page you open on a case.
Status, the map, how far it has got, and the council buttons. This is BH2026/01872, a live Brighton sign application.
- Days left to comment, on the case
- Progress from submitted through to a decision
- The council portal, the documents, and the comment form
03 — Nearby
What else is close.
The other applications around that site, nearest first. Adjoining, then yards away.
- Pending and decided, in the same list
- How near each one is
- Each row opens a case like the one above
04 — Watchlist
The cases you keep.
Follow an application and it stays here, with anything that has changed since you last looked.
- Days left, and a tag once you have written about it
- Address, proposal, and the dates
- A decision, a rewritten proposal, or a window that closed
05 — Alerts
Email when the street changes.
An alert on your postcode. Daily, weekly, or only when something changes. Nothing goes out on a quiet day.
- How many applications currently match
- How often the email goes
- Delete it when you want it to stop
06 — What you pay for
The street watch.
The list, the case, what else is close, the watchlist, and the email. £5.99 once, £6.99 a month, or £59.99 a year.
Sold houses nearby
Recent completions from Land Registry. New owners are the ones most likely to apply for work next — a useful signal before a notice goes up.
Alerts and updates
Email when something new appears, when the proposal is rewritten in English, and when something nearby is permitted, refused, or withdrawn. Days left are in the subject.
Tracking
A watchlist for the cases that matter, with days left and the closing date. Open consultations sit first.
This house
Other applications at the same address. What has already been asked for at this house — not a guess about the street.
On this plot
Whether your home sits in a conservation area, an Article 4, a listed building outline, or a tree preservation zone. From planning.data.gov.uk. Indicative — not a formal search.
Two miles, monthly
The neighbourhood around the house. Search, sold houses, alerts — including nearby decisions — tracking, and filters — extensions, lofts, trees, change of use, paperwork, and more — for £6.99 a month. Stop whenever.
Ten miles, yearly
A wider radius — ten miles. The same watch, including filters. £59.99 a year — less than twelve months paid monthly.
07 — What it costs
A household amount.
One application
£5.99
Pay once. Track this case, amendments in English, days left in the email. Stops when it is decided.
Monthly
£6.99 / month
Two miles: planning nearby, sold houses, alerts on new work, amendments and nearby decisions, a watchlist, and filters.
Yearly
£59.99 / year
Ten miles, the same watch. Less than twelve months paid monthly.
08 — Questions
Before you pay
Is it always 21 days?
That is the usual minimum in England, not a fixed rule. We use the date on the council record.
Can I object through 21days?
No. Comments belong on the council portal. We email you while the window is still open.
Will this stop the extension?
No. It only gives you time to comment. The council decides.
Do you tell me when something nearby is decided?
Yes, on a paid watch. Permitted, refused, or withdrawn — not only new submissions.
