Answer "what can I build here?" before they ask.
When a buyer asks whether they can add a storey or a granny flat, you'll have the zone, the overlays and the likely approval path from the address, ready to repeat to the buyer.
They come back for a second look with a tape measure, and the question's always the same. Can you put a second storey on it? Put the address in and you'll have the zone, what the council allows, the overlays and the likely approval pathway before they ask.
Answer the development question at the inspection
The buyer wants to know if their idea is possible, not a planning report. You get the zone and its name, what the council allows on the site, the overlays to check and the likely approval pathway, from live state planning data.
It names the likely approval pathway for the property's state or territory, and in New South Wales it shows the mapped overlays too. It's free, with no account.
Every answer shows where it came from
Each read carries its own labels: the zone name and code, a data-confidence rating, a note where a council's controls aren't fully mapped yet, and Not checked on any overlay we didn't read. Read it out as it's shown and the buyer hears exactly where it came from.
It's published planning data for the address, so a buyer who wants to go further can take the same page to their own planner.
Answer the buyer with the sourced site information on the screen, labels included, and refer the property-specific position to the council or a town planner where it matters. Before a development claim goes into a listing, check that position with the council or a planner.
Give a keen buyer somewhere to take the idea
Interest turns into an offer when the buyer can price the idea. Send them the page for the address, so they can take the same read to a planner or a builder before they commit. If they buy, Planning Pro builds their planning pack for them to review and lodge.

The address page to send them, ready to take to a planner or a builder.
What agents ask
What can I tell a buyer from an address?
The zone and zone name, what the council allows on the site, the overlays to check and the likely approval pathway for the property's state or territory, in seven states and territories. The Northern Territory is not live. It's site information from published planning data, with its source and labels, not planning advice or an approval.
Can a buyer see it without an account?
Yes. Every address has its own page, free and with no account, so you can send it to a buyer and they read the same thing you did.
What if the buyer wants to take it further?
Send them the page for the address. If they buy, Planning Pro builds their planning pack for them to review and lodge. On any paid plan they can post the work on Marketplace, invite builders or consultants to quote, compare the quotes and choose who gets it.
