Blocktype is a residential planning platform that uses spatial data and machine learning to help developers and local authorities navigate planning policy. The system provides policy compliant components and instant feedback to streamline the delivery of new homes.
Blocktype has secured £315k in pre-seed funding led by Fuel Ventures. The capital will be directed towards accelerating growth and expanding partnerships as the company scales its data-driven planning platform.
The residential planning sector faces significant friction between national targets and local realities. Blocktype addresses this by combining spatial analysis with planning policy data to help developers and local leaders evaluate sites efficiently.
The fresh investment will support ongoing efforts to help local authorities and housebuilders tackle housing delivery bottlenecks across the UK.
From the founder
"We’re building tools that will transform how we plan for housing. Policymakers know the numbers. The challenge is understanding what homes can go where. With this funding, we’re scaling our platform to give planners, developers, and local leaders the clarity they need to make housing delivery actually happen."
Euan Mills
CEO and Co-Founder at Blocktype
Investor perspective
"Blocktype’s approach addresses one of the most stubborn barriers to housing growth: poor visibility into infrastructure and policy constraints. Euan and Adam bring unmatched credibility from years advising government and shaping digital planning strategy. We’re proud to back them in solving a problem of national importance."
