Searching for planning applications

I'm just trying to check out the local areas of properties we are interested in.

I've gone on the council website for the district/parish but unable to just search a specific area, they ask for developer name or application details, which of course I don't have.

is there anyway I can do a blanket search or another website which would give me such detail?

Thank you.

    Sedgemoor planning allows you to search by road name, have you tried using googlemaps to look at streets near by where you are looking, then put these street names into the planning search?

    yes I will do this, I was hoping it would bring up planning for a parish but I expect there would be too many.

    are you searching for anything specific or just getting a general feel of what has been submitted in an area/parish. if the later, try looking at the weekly lists of applications submitted. without knowing what you want to find its quite hard to suggest how you might find it.
