Public property intelligence / England
Know the rules.
See what changed.
Move with confidence.
Licensing schemes, planning controls and regulatory changes are scattered across hundreds of councils. We're bringing verified sources together, one local authority at a time.
01 / Research layers
One question.
Multiple public sources.
Real property decisions require licensing, planning and compliance information to be understood together—not treated as interchangeable.
Local council intelligence
Scheme coverage, applicable occupancy rules, authority sources and dates.
↗02 / PROPERTYHMO screening tool
Start with occupiers and a postcode to identify the likely licensing route and issues to confirm.
↗03 / CHANGESWhat changed and why
Regulatory changes with effective dates, direct council evidence and practical consequences.
↗02 / Council files
Local facts,
not generic city pages.
These initial records were sourced directly from published council material on 13 October 2026. Council policies can change after that date.
03 / Latest research
Changes with consequences.
An announcement date isn't always its effective date. We record both and show the actual official notice.
