Sound familiar? You're checking the EA flood map, then planning.data.gov.uk, then Historic England, then Land Registry, then the LPA portal — and you've spent 2 hours before you've assessed a single site.

LandLens™ ends that. One AI-powered platform combining OS Maps, government planning data, Land Registry records and 12 planning constraint layers — so you can assess any site in minutes, not hours.

The problem

UK planning data is everywhere.
Except where you need it.

Planning professionals in the UK waste hours every week navigating fragmented, disconnected government portals. That time costs you money. A typical site assessment touches at least 8 different data sources before you can form a view. LandLens™ brings all of them together — and adds AI to answer your questions directly.

  • 🕐
    Hours lost to data huntingSwitching between the EA flood portal, Historic England, planning.data.gov.uk, and Land Registry for every single site assessment.
  • 🗺
    No single map viewFlood zones, green belt, listed buildings and brownfield land all live in separate tools. There's no way to see all constraints on one map.
  • 🤔
    Generic tools built for the publicGovernment portals are designed for the public, not professionals. Slow, hard to navigate, and impossible to export from.
  • 💸
    Expensive competitor platformsLandInsight and Nimbus Maps charge £200+ per month per seat and still require manual data hunting. There is a better way.

How it works

Intelligence-first. Not location-first.

Every other UK planning tool makes you pick a location first, then shows you data. LandLens™ is different — you ask a question in plain English and the intelligence comes to you.

💬01

Ask your question

Type any planning question in plain English. “What are the flood zones near Bristol Temple Meads?” or “Show me brownfield land in Barking.” No filters. No dropdowns. No training required.

Powered by AI — understands plain English

See it on an OS Map

The answer appears instantly on an official Ordnance Survey map. Toggle any of 12 constraint layers — flood zones, green belt, listed buildings, land parcels and more — overlaid precisely on OS cartography.
