Of possible related general interest may be our new StreetFocus project, 
launching soon fully but now in beta:

https://www.streetfocus.uk/

It provides a single national entry point to planning applications, using a 
modern (OSM vector) slippy map, and enables them for the first time to be 
filtered by size, type and date. This means that, for instance, people 
interested in say transport effects of major developments can instantly see 
where these are proposed in their city.

Locations are point-based and derived from postcodes, rather than using 
official boundaries.

(NB the planning data is up to date as of mid-January - daily updating and 
then alerting should be switched on very shortly.)
