Research building and retrofit proposals in York

Start with a York preview, then look for extensions, conversions, roof alterations and energy installations that relate to your services. For heritage or constrained sites, read the original application documents and any conservation or listed-building requirements rather than relying on the short proposal alone.

York and the surrounding Yorkshire feeds

Our new reach uses a 10-mile circle around York city centre. It includes intersecting council areas in East Riding of Yorkshire, Leeds and North Yorkshire. The York preview focuses on the city council area; neighbouring council searches are separate and their coverage varies.

Understand North Yorkshire results

A North Yorkshire search combines its configured county, former district and National Park registers. Some of those sources are still awaiting validated publication. Use the North Yorkshire guide to check those distinctions before comparing results.

Sources and coverage

Supplementary planning records are collected through UK PlanIt from council sources. Coverage varies by register and may include older activity. Check the live map, inventory and source dates, and use the original council register to confirm a record.

Go from a preview to your own shortlist.

Pro is £50/month for one user, with full signal details, saved searches, private shortlists and optional daily alerts. Planning records are research starting points, not confirmed jobs or exclusive customer enquiries.
