Our take

There's a housing crisis in the UK, and it concerns not just the lack of homes but also the slow, complicated planning process that holds up development. Getting planning permission can be a major headache for both developers and local councils, and it costs time and money.

PlanningHub is tackling this with AI tools that make planning data easier to access and understand. Its platform helps everyone from developers to public sector teams by simplifying the system and providing better tools that help to make smarter choices.

Things are moving fast for the company too, having raised seed funding in 2025, joined the UK's top PropTech accelerator, and scored government grants to keep on growing. With big backers like Fuel Ventures and a mission to fix a system that really needs it, it's certainly one to watch.
