The Information Advantage Most Developers Don't Have

Monitoring 400+ Council Portals Manually Is Impossible

Planning data exists. But it is buried across hundreds of separate council websites, each with a different interface and update schedule. By the time a development opportunity surfaces publicly, competition has already driven up the price.

One Platform. Every Council. Updated Daily.

LeadLinka normalises planning data from all 400+ UK local authorities into a single, searchable feed. Filter by location, project type, and decision date to find opportunities that match your investment criteria, before most of the market even knows they exist.

How Developers Use LeadLinka

USE CASE 01

Identify Sites with Planning Permission

Search approved applications for residential or commercial developments in your target areas. Reach landowners with planning already in place before the site is formally marketed.

USE CASE 02

Track Development Activity in a Target Area

Monitor approvals in a specific borough or region to understand where planning activity is accelerating, a leading indicator of price appreciation and regeneration opportunity.

USE CASE 03

Source Off-Market Opportunities

Contact applicants directly after approval is granted. Many projects never reach the open market, developers who move early are the ones who find the best deals.

USE CASE 04

Market Research & Due Diligence

Understand the volume and type of planning activity around a site you are evaluating. Competing applications, nearby approvals, and local authority trends are all visible in one place.

How It Works

From planning approval to actionable intelligence in three steps.

1

Set your search criteria

Filter by council, region, project type (residential, commercial, mixed-use, industrial), and decision date range to focus on opportunities that match your strategy.

2

Review daily approvals

Your feed populates with newly approved applications every day. Each record includes the address, full planning description, decision date, and council reference.

3

Act on the intelligence

Save promising opportunities, track pipeline activity, and reach out to applicants before a project or site enters formal marketing.
