UK planning expansion built around national policy, local authorities, and franchise delivery.
England is the first UK module being prepared, with NPPF policy indexing, Planning Portal integration points, and local planning authority onboarding separated from Jersey and Ireland.
Integration status
Planning-system funnel
Choose the nation before planning reliance.
A UK market selection is only the first step. Policy, authority, procedure, evidence, and release status resolve at nation level.
England
Private beta pathNational Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
England uses NPPF, local plans, validation lists, Planning Portal workflows, and local planning authority registers.
Run guarded Planning Data/PostGIS ingestion for 2 beta coordinate seeds and review local-plan/validation sources before enabling live England analysis.

Separate planned modulePlanning Policy Wales
Wales must use Planning Policy Wales, Welsh local development plans, Welsh validation rules, and devolved procedure caveats.
Create Welsh policy/source registry before offering UK-wide user journeys.
Planning system not enabledScotland
Separate planned moduleNational Planning Framework 4
Scotland must use National Planning Framework 4, Scottish ePlanning, local development plans, and devolved procedure caveats.
Create Scottish policy/source registry before offering UK-wide user journeys.
Planning system not enabledUK module boundary
Uses nation-specific policy, procedure, local planning authority sources, Planning Portal readiness, and PostGIS ingestion paths isolated from Jersey and Ireland.
NPPF policy index
Scaffold5 national policy topics are indexed for England.
Authority onboarding
Scaffold1/2 pilot authorities have at least three readiness signals.
Planning Portal proxy
ScaffoldCredentials required before live proxy traffic.
Planning Data/PostGIS path
PartialOfficial Planning Data point-query constraints can be queried, and 2 beta seed coordinates across 2 England authorities can be dry-run reviewed or persisted into shared PostGIS storage.
England beta gate
Scaffold2/2 pilot authorities have configured local-plan, validation, and constraint seed coverage; 0/2 are reviewed for analysis.
Next build steps
Run the UK Planning Data seed command for Westminster and Camden, review returned geometry, then apply to PostGIS.
Ingest and review Westminster/Camden local-plan and validation-list sources before moving the England beta gate.
Add England analysis once local-plan and validation coverage reaches beta threshold.
Model Scotland and Wales as separate modules before accepting live searches.
First local authority onboarding
