Planning Reports

Property Search Network utilise Plansearch Plus to deliver their planning reports. Selecting and buying the right home can be a lengthy and costly process, so once your client has picked their new home it is important they are aware of any potential changes within the surrounding area before proceeding with the purchase. For example there could be plans to construct a telecommunications mast, a new nightclub could be opening, or there could be plans to build a block of flats or a factory nearby. The impact of such proposals could be substantial. They might ruin the view from the property, reducing its value, or reducing the prospective purchaser’s potential enjoyment of the property.

For the homebuyer, Plansearch Plus will reduce the potential for unwelcome surprises by providing detailed information about Land Use Policies in the neighbourhood.

For the practitioner, Plansearch Plus provides current and historical planning information in a user-friendly, illustrated report, which enables the practitioner to provide as much information as possible to the client prior to the transaction.

The standard local authority search (Con 29) focuses on the property for which the search has been commissioned, and provides no information beyond the boundaries of the property (other than for road and rail for which a 200 metres search is made). Equally, replies to Con 29 enquiries will not usually include the informative maps that are a feature of Plansearch Plus.

Plansearch Plus is designed to overcome the limitations of Con 29 by providing the following information for the property and surrounding area:

Aerial Photo
Planning Applications
Land Use Designations
Mobile Phone Masts
Rights of Way
Housing and Neighbourhood
Crime
Education
