Monitoring 300+ UK councils — from parish to metropolitan
Built different from day one.

Common questions
What councils are covered?
PlanTrack monitors 300+ UK planning authorities — England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland — covering every major city, county, district, and national park. From Westminster to the Western Isles, we've got it. Don't see your area? Email hello@plantrack.uk and we'll add it.
How quickly do I get alerts?
Most councils publish changes within 15 minutes of PlanTrack picking them up. You choose the delivery cadence — instant, daily digest, or weekly roundup — and the channel: email, dashboard, or push.
Can I track applications I've submitted?
Yes. Paste in the application reference or link, and PlanTrack will follow it through every status change, document upload, committee hearing, and decision notice — automatically.
Is there a contract?
No. PlanTrack is month-to-month. Start with a 1-week free trial and cancel any time from your account. No setup fees, no exit fees, no nonsense.
How does the PlanScan AI integration work?
If you use PlanScan AI — our AI-powered construction drawing analysis tool — any planning document PlanTrack picks up can be opened directly in PlanScan AI for drawing analysis, schedule extraction, and measurement. One sign-in, one workflow. PlanScan AI subscribers also get PlanTrack at a reduced base rate of £19/month instead of £29/month.
What happens after the free trial?
We'll remind you a day before your trial ends. Your trial includes 3 councils free for 7 days. If you've added a payment method, your subscription continues seamlessly at £29/month base plus £5 per council you're monitoring. If not, your alerts pause until you choose to continue. Your coverage and filters stay saved either way.
Why don't you charge per user?
Planning intelligence should be shared across your team, not locked behind extra seats. PlanTrack gives your whole office access at one price — share dashboards, alerts, and exports with everyone who needs them. You only pay for the councils you monitor, not the people viewing them.
Are there project limits?
No. Every council you add comes with unlimited application tracking. There are no project caps, no artificial limits on how many applications you can follow. If you're monitoring 10 councils and each one has 200 live applications, you'll see every single one.
How does PlanTrack compare to other planning tools?
Most planning alert tools charge per user and cap your projects. A typical setup for a three-person team monitoring 25 projects costs £79/month or more — and you still hit limits. PlanTrack charges a flat £29/month base plus £5 per council, with unlimited users, unlimited projects, and native PlanScan AI integration. We also offer an unlimited tier at £149/month for national coverage.
