Tell ClearPlot what you want to build. It tells you if it'll get approval, if it makes money, and what any ground risk will cost. One verdict, built on real planning outcomes.

The problem

The opportunity is real. It's just scattered across a dozen places at once.

Who owns it. Whether it'll get approval. What's in the ground. What it's worth once it's built. Every answer lives in a different registry, portal or report, and on its own none of them tells you whether the plot is worth pursuing.

So you either spend weeks and consultant fees pulling it all together, or you make the call on gut feel. Both get expensive, one in time, the other in mistakes.

ClearPlot does the pulling-together for you. One report, one plot, the full picture, in minutes.

How it works

From address to answer in minutes.

01

Tell us the plot, and the plan.

Enter a postcode or address, or select the parcel on the map. Then tell us what you're thinking of building, a few structured taps, no forms. The whole report is assessed against your scheme, not a generic one.

02

We check before you pay.

Before you pay a penny, we confirm we hold enough data to produce a full report on that parcel. If we don't, we say so, you pay nothing, and we let you know when coverage arrives.

03

The engine does the legwork.

Ownership and title, the parcel's own planning history, comparable decisions nearby, environmental constraints, remediation costs where the ground carries risk, and a full residual valuation. Pulled, cross-checked and priced automatically.

04

Your report, ready in minutes.

Pursue, proceed with caution, or avoid, with a confidence level and the evidence underneath. And if your scheme looks too ambitious for the area, the report says so and tells you what scale nearby decisions actually support. On screen and as a PDF, usually within minutes of paying.

Inside the report

Every report is a full dossier, and you can see where every number came from.

Identity and ownership. The parcel's full planning history. Environmental constraints. Predicted decision. Valuation. All in one document, with every datapoint tagged by provenance, so you always know what you're trusting:

  • CITEDCited · straight from a council decision notice or registry record
  • DERIVEDDerived · computed from spatial and land-use data
  • RESOLVEDResolved · owner matched to the parcel via EPC/UPRN
  • NOT HELDNot held · we don't have it, and we say so

No silent guesses dressed up as fact.

Including the risk most tools quietly ignore.

Some of the best-located land sits on awkward ground: historic landfill, former coal workings, flood-prone or derelict plots. That's exactly why it gets overlooked, and exactly where the value hides for anyone who can price it.

Where your plot carries that kind of legacy, ClearPlot flags it and puts an honest cost range on making the site developable, with the drivers behind the number, never a fake-precise quote. The scariest unknown in the deal becomes a line item you can underwrite. And if the ground is clean, the report simply says so.

The verdict

Not another data dump. A call you can act on.

Most tools hand you layers and leave the judgement to you. ClearPlot's report ends the way a good adviser would: with a call. Pursue, proceed with caution, or avoid, plus a confidence level and the reasoning in plain English.

And it's built to be smarter than the brief, not to flatter it. If the scheme you have in mind looks too ambitious for the area, the report says so, and tells you what scale nearby decisions actually support.

The verdict

Proceed with caution

Consent in principle is realistic. The 14-unit scheme entered is above what comparable approvals support here.

Realistic-scale read

Comparable approvals on similar plots cluster around 8–10 units. The 14-unit scheme entered carries meaningful refusal risk on density grounds. Testing a 9–10 unit layout materially improves the odds and still clears the viability bar.

The bigger picture

When land becomes legible, capital follows.

Most regions are sitting on far more investable land than anyone can see, with value stranded behind missing data and uncertain consent. ClearPlot makes that land legible. Investors find opportunities they'd have missed, and the regions those parcels sit in attract the capital and development they've been waiting for.

Good for the deal.

Good for the place.

FAQ

The questions people ask first.

Enter a postcode or address, or select the parcel on the map, tell us what you plan to build, and pay £99. The report arrives on screen and as a PDF, usually within minutes. If we can't produce a full report on your plot, we tell you before you pay, and you pay nothing.

A full report on one parcel: a pursue, caution or avoid verdict with a confidence level, the planning prediction for your scheme, the parcel's own planning history, comparable decisions nearby, environmental constraints, an indicative remediation cost range where the ground carries risk, a complete residual valuation, and title and ownership.

For each plot, ClearPlot predicts whether a planning application would be approved or refused. Across sites where we know the outcome, that call matches the real council decision 84% of the time, and it keeps improving. It's a guide, not a promise.

Official public sources: HM Land Registry, council planning records, the Environment Agency, the energy rating register and Ordnance Survey. Every figure in the report is tagged Cited, Derived, Resolved or Not held, so you always see what it rests on.

We take the expected value of the land once developed, then deduct acquisition, build costs, council charges, and the likely cost of cleaning up contaminated or former industrial ground where it applies. You get an expected margin and a clear return, shown as honest ranges.

Especially. Old industrial sites, former landfill, ex-coal areas and derelict plots are where value hides, because most tools ignore them. ClearPlot prices the problem instead of just flagging it. And if your plot is clean, the report simply says so.

Across the UK, with coverage growing all the time. We check coverage on your specific parcel before you pay, so you'll never be charged for a thin report.

No. The report is early-stage triage to help you decide whether a plot is worth investigating further. It doesn't replace a site investigation, a title review, or your own professional advice before you buy or build.

One plot away from the answer.
