Planning analysis
Trace current application records, constraints, adopted policy and evidence gaps.
SITEFOUND / INDEPENDENT DATA STUDIO
Land intelligence, connected to its sources.
Seven research categories. One place to find official public records, check what is supported in SiteFound, and identify which commercial data still needs permissions. No third-party AI model or paid data subscription is running here.
WORKING · PUBLIC BETA
Recent planning applications near a map point
Run one bounded Planning Data England check. This service is incomplete and never replaces the council's live planning register.
Searches an approximate rectangular area around the chosen point, not a surveyed parcel or circular travel area. All results are VERIFY. The government planning-application feed is still incomplete.
No location has been checked.
MCP-READY WORKFLOW IDEAS · NOT AN AI CONNECTOR
Four research jobs. A clear next action.
These are copyable checklists for your own research or an AI assistant you already use. They do not connect to Searchland, automatically run queries, share private briefs or create an MCP server.
Find opportunities
Compare published brownfield opportunities against gross and usable size, owner route, access and site control.
Track policy
Check original council plans, appeals, amendments and adoption dates; report only material changes.
Build reports
Prepare an evidence-linked VERIFY pack, separating dates, source coverage and unresolved gates.
37 NAMED DATASETS / 7 GROUPS
Original sources and honest connection status.
The supplied competitor page advertises “40+ datasets”, but only 37 individual names are visible. It also labels Local plan & policy “11 datasets” while showing ten names. This directory faithfully lists the 37 visible items, not invented extras.

The next phase would be an authenticated, tenant-isolated read-only MCP interface over SiteFound's own permitted datasets. It must require appropriate authentication, rate limits, source-specific commercial permissions, audit logs and privacy controls before being offered through AI assistants.
