Case Study: The Yorkshire Planner reduces site assessments from five hours to minutes with Searchland

The Yorkshire Planner cuts site assessments from 5 hours to 5 minutes with SearchLand

The Yorkshire Planner, an independent planning consultancy, was facing a significant challenge in conducting site assessments, which required manually checking up to twelve different government websites and could take up to five hours per appraisal. Before using Searchland's platform, they had no paid data tool and all research was done manually, putting them at a disadvantage compared to larger firms.

By implementing Searchland, The Yorkshire Planner gained access to an intuitive platform that consolidates site constraints, ownership details, and planning history. The solution provided reliable, daily-updated data with traceable source links. The result was a dramatic reduction in research time, turning five-hour appraisals into a process that takes just minutes. This efficiency gain allows the consultancy to triage more enquiries effectively and compete on a level playing field with larger competitors.
