SiteLens delivers the same UK planning feed Barbour ABI is built on — AI-classified, mapped, and daily — self-serve from £29/mo. No account manager, no contract.
Every UK planning application, every council, every day. The base layer of project intelligence you need to stay ahead is the same — we just don’t charge enterprise prices for it.
Barbour ABI pricing starts in the low-four-figures-per-year bracket and climbs. SiteLens Pro is £29/mo and covers most construction supply chain use cases without the account-manager overhead.
Sign up, log in, start searching. No account manager, no weekly check-in, no “just catching up” calls. If that’s the service you want, Barbour is the right choice — but most teams just want the data.

Barbour employs roughly 60 phone researchers who call ahead of public planning records to confirm project scope, timelines, budgets and decision-makers. That’s a real service, and it matters when you’re bidding on £50m+ schemes where being two weeks earlier than the competition is worth six figures.
SiteLens doesn’t try to match that. What SiteLens does match is the daily feed of every UK planning application itself — and if you’re a supplier, subcontractor, or specialist trade whose decision to quote isn’t gated on a phone-researched tender pack, the daily feed is the part you actually pay Barbour for. We give you that part, self-serve, for roughly the cost of one Barbour researcher-hour a month.
