Questions about this feed
How often is this solar panel planning data updated?
Weekly. This page was last refreshed on 31 Oct 2026. The feed on Apify is live: each run pulls the latest records from PlanIt, so you can schedule it weekly or daily.
Who uses a solar panel planning feed?
Solar PV installers and battery storage companies. Applications show where work is being proposed, often weeks before it starts.
Can I get only certain kinds of application?
Yes. Add a keyword such as solar, extension or HMO, a size (Small, Medium or Large), a decision status, or a postcode and radius in km to the actor input.
What fields do I get?
Reference, council, address and postcode, proposal, application type and size, status, received, validated and decided dates, coordinates and a link to the council record. The sample on this page shows only the postcode district.
Where does the data come from?
From PlanIt, which collects applications from UK council planning registers. Always check the council record before acting on an application.
How much does it cost?
$12 per 1,000 results ($0.012 each) plus $0.003 per run, as listed on the Apify actor page (checked 31 Oct 2026). Apify's free plan includes monthly credit, so a small test run costs nothing.
Why do a few applications not match the trade?
Matching is on keywords in the proposal text, so a few false positives get through. Check each application before you contact anyone.
