We rely on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) as our legal basis for processing business contact data. Our legitimate interest is in promoting a service that is genuinely relevant to the businesses we contact — tradespeople who benefit from knowing about local approved planning applications.

You can object to this processing at any time (see Section 7).

UK Planning Leads may provide filtered planning datasets to retrofit, insulation, solar, roofing and energy-efficiency providers for legitimate B2B opportunity assessment.
Important: UK Planning Leads does not assess, infer or guarantee eligibility for ECO4, GBIS, Warm Homes or any other grant, funding or energy-efficiency scheme. Any such assessment must be carried out independently by the relevant provider.
Our planning data is based on publicly available records published by UK local planning authorities. It is provided as a property-level opportunity signal only — indicating where property improvement works may be in progress. It does not indicate household income, benefit status, tenure type, energy rating or suitability for any funding scheme.
Any homeowner contact, funding assessment, retrofit survey, grant application or scheme submission made on the basis of this data remains entirely the responsibility of the provider. Providers must ensure their use of this data complies with applicable data protection law, marketing regulations and scheme-specific eligibility rules.
Datasets include contact details only where published by councils on public planning portals. We do not enrich planning data with income, benefits or vulnerability indicators.
