National rollout of Extract and APD-enabled planning tools
Friday 1st January, 2027
The UK government plans to roll out two AI planning tools nationally in 2027—Extract, which converts planning documents into usable data, and an Augmented Planning Decisions prototype to speed routine decisions—after trials. This gives Rightmove a chance to comment on how faster, data-driven planning decisions could affect housing supply, listing timelines and market transparency in England, and why accurate digital planning data matters for buyers, sellers and estate agents.

The national rollout could change how quickly homes are approved and brought to market, giving you a timely reason to share housing-market data and explain why clear planning information matters to buyers and sellers.
