A report is a snapshot

A report is scored with the data we hold on the day it was checked, which it shows at the top. It doesn’t take in new data by itself. We keep reading council planning registers every day, so newer records may have come in since. The one exception: when we change how scores are worked out, saved reports are scored again in the background by the new method, from the same data. When we’ve found housing applications within 1 km since a report was checked, it says so at the top, for example “2 new planning applications nearby since this check”. They won’t always change the score, but checking again takes them into account.

Check again

Tap Check again on the report. It scores the field again with the planning records and web results we hold now.
  • It’s free for everyone, on free and deep reports alike.
  • You don’t need an account.
  • A report can be checked again once every 24 hours. If it was checked in the last day, the button tells you when it can next be checked.
When the new score is ready, the report shows it. If the score has moved, the free report says from what to what; the deep report also says which reasons came and went.

Search the web again

The deep report’s web check looks for promoters, land deals and local news around the town or village a field is near. With the deep report, you can run it again:
  • free of charge
  • once every 7 days for each town or village, whoever asks
  • by tapping Search the web again on the report
The score is worked out again with what it finds. Results appear under On the web as they come in.

Scoring fields again from the map

On the map, you can pick up to 20 fields and score them again in one go. That needs you to be signed in. A field checked in the last day is left as it is.

Alerts

We don’t email you when something changes yet. Watch, an email when anything changes on a field, is on its way. Until then, the report shows when new applications have come in nearby.
