About PlanningHub
PlanningHub provides instant planning insights for property development. We transform how planning information is accessed and used, including for housing and community development.
Founded in 2023, we tackle the challenges of navigating complex, fragmented planning systems. Planning data—covering legislation, environmental zones, and case law—is scattered across multiple sources and often updated inconsistently. Currently, selecting information specific to a given project in a particular location is a manual, time-consuming process prone to errors and omissions. This inefficiency leads to delays and costs an estimated £1.2 billion annually in the UK alone.
Our solution leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to deliver fast, reliable answers to planning queries. With just a few clicks, architects, planners, developers, investors, builders, lawyers, conveyancers, local authorities, and homeowners can gain valuable insights into planning constraints, opportunities, and likely outcomes.
PlanningHub is making a significant impact across the UK, EU, and globally. It accelerates housing delivery, enhances planning efficiency, democratizes access to vital planning information, reduces risks, and drives economic growth by boosting the construction sector. By streamlining access to vast datasets, it prevents financial waste, supports confident planning application submissions, and reduces administrative burdens for all stakeholders involved in property development.
Our founders bring together exceptional expertise: Prof. Harald Braun, PlanningHub’s CTO, specializes in AI, while Ewa Moskwiak, PlanningHub’s CEO, is a RIBA-chartered architect. They are supported by leading advisors and partners, including Antler VC, Fuel Ventures, the UK Innovation Agency (UKRI), and Geovation.
Despite the global construction sector’s $12 trillion turnover, planning remained reliant on outdated processes until now. PlanningHub is the first to fully harness advanced technologies, unlocking the potential of underused sites and properties, speeding up site appraisals, and contributing to a more efficient and sustainable planning ecosystems.
