`ukplanning_entities_at_point`

Pack: uk-planning-data · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/uk-planning-data/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ukplanning_entities_at_point for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Return every UK planning designation whose boundary covers one latitude/longitude — the single most useful call for site or property due diligence. Answers “is this address in a conservation area / green belt / flood risk zone”, “is there an article 4 direction here”, “which local planning authority is this”. Pass a dataset to restrict to one layer, or omit it to get every layer at once. AUTHORITATIVE, sourced from the publishing local authorities via planning.data.gov.uk. Example: ukplanning_entities_at_point({ latitude: 51.5074, longitude: -0.1276 })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`latitude`	number	yes	Latitude in WGS84 decimal degrees, e.g. 51.5074
`longitude`	number	yes	Longitude in WGS84 decimal degrees, e.g. -0.1276
`dataset`	string	no	Optional dataset slug from ukplanning_datasets to restrict to one layer, e.g. “conservation-area”
`limit`	number	no	Maximum designations to return (default 25, max 100)
`include_geometry`	boolean	no	Include the full WKT boundary of each designation (default false — a single area can be 60 KB of coordinates)
