The Problem

UK Planning is almost impossible
to navigate.
Councils are inundated with thousands of planning applications each week managing them with outdated conventions. This results in layers of complexity, costs, and eventual inaccuracies. With the ever-impending policy requirements and socio-economic metrics, the challenges increase as more layers are added.

Business Model
MetaConnex's business model revolves around acquiring land in collaboration with council partners.
As a REIT fund, MetaConnex offers a unique approach that combines strategic land acquisition through partnerships with councils, all while being free to use.
As a REIT fund, MetaConnex offers a unique approach that combines strategic land acquisition through partnerships with councils, all while being free to use.
Create a digital twin for free
We offer a no-cost tool for councils and partners to use, creating a digital replica of the town. This helps bring the town or city to life, making it ready for master planning with no barriers to entry.
Ingest local plan with council
We turn the local plan into a 3D model, using live data to bring the master plan to life. Our exclusive tool assesses cost, carbon, value, and performance for simulations and demonstrations of developments.
Land Acquisition
We collaborate with funds and the council to acquire and master plan sites, ensuring the city can realise its vision instead of relying on a fragmented development approach by various developers.
