Draw a plot. Get the scheme, the numbers, and the planning odds.
Landvia is the AI development engine inside LandHunt. Sketch any site and it lays out a viable scheme, values the land with a full residual appraisal, and reads the planning risk from real decisions — the week of work an architect and an appraiser used to do, in seconds.
Included with LandHunt Pro when it launches. No separate sign-up.
The massing engine
Watch it solve the site.
Landvia reads the boundary, sets out the access, then packs a policy-compliant scheme — respecting setbacks, gardens, parking and the 21m separation rule — and scores it in real time. It generates and ranks candidates, so what you see is the best layout it found, not the first.
- Setbacks, gardens, parking and 21m separation enforced
- Density held to the local plan
- Ranked by residual land value, not just unit count
Massing in 3D
See the scheme stand up.
The same solved layout, extruded to storeys — so you can read the massing, the street and the density at a glance before a single line is drawn by hand.
What Landvia does
A planning consultant, an architect and an appraiser — in one draw.
Instant massing
Sketch a boundary and Landvia lays out a viable scheme — houses or flats — respecting setbacks, parking, 21m separation and the density policy that actually applies.
Residual land value
A full appraisal in real time: GDV minus build, externals, fees, time-based finance, profit and CIL/S106, mix-aware and shown as a low–base–high range.
Planning-risk AI
Calibrated approval odds from a corpus of real decisions plus current policy — Grey Belt reforms, flood sequential test, conservation setting — with the score's full breakdown.
Constraints & flood
Green Belt and Grey Belt, AONB, conservation areas, listed settings, flood zones, nutrient neutrality and contaminated land — detected and weighed automatically.
Local evidence
Sold-price comparables and the in-force local plan feed the value and the odds, so the numbers reflect this street, not a national average.
One-click outputs
A branded appraisal pack (PDF), a clean site plan (SVG) and a DXF for your architect — ready to send to a landowner or a JV partner.
How it works
Three steps, about a minute.
Draw or pick the site
Trace a boundary on the map or pick an ownership parcel. Landvia reads the area, frontage and access for you.
Landvia solves it
It generates and ranks layouts, values the land, checks the constraints and scores the planning risk — all on the fly.
Export the pack
Take the appraisal, the plan and the numbers straight into a landowner conversation, a JV, or your acquisition sign-off.
Built to be trusted
Every number shows its working.
Landvia is honest by design. The residual land value breaks down line by line. The planning score is built from a real base rate and current policy — Grey Belt, the flood sequential test, conservation setting — with a transparent waterfall and an honest low-to-high range, never false precision. When data is thin, it tells you.
- Residual land value broken down line by line, with a low–base–high range.
- Planning score built from real decisions and current national policy, with a transparent waterfall.
- Provenance and a confidence level on every output — and it degrades gracefully when data is thin.
- Clear disclaimers: an indicative feasibility view, not a formal valuation or a planning consent.

Questions
What exactly is Landvia?+
The development-appraisal engine inside LandHunt. You draw a site and it produces an indicative scheme, a residual land value and a planning-risk read — the early-stage work of an architect, an appraiser and a planning consultant, automated.
When does it launch?+
Soon, to LandHunt members first. The fastest way to get it the day it's live is to be on the platform already.
How accurate is it?+
It's a calibrated, transparent estimate grounded in real decision data, current policy and local sold prices — every figure shows its working and a confidence level. It's a fast feasibility view to triage sites, not a substitute for a RICS valuation or professional planning advice.
What will it cost?+
Landvia is included with LandHunt Pro at launch — there's no separate subscription.
Which sites does it work on?+
Any site you can draw or pick in England & Wales. It handles both housing schemes and apartment blocks, and adapts to the local plan and constraints for that location.
