A count for the whole town says how busy the planning office is. What matters for a purchase is the 300 m around the house: the field behind it, the corner site, the neighbour’s attic conversion. That is what the report lists, with the decision and the appeal status for each file.

What to check before you bid

Three things. First, permissions granted but not yet built near the house: the register shows them, the street does not.
