Storage Compass is the UK's first self-storage site intelligence platform. Every facility in Britain mapped, every live planning application tracked across 216 councils, and any catchment scored in a click. Built for the operators, investors and suppliers moving the UK self-storage market.
Storage Compass is the UK's first dedicated market-intelligence platform for the self-storage sector. It maps 1,137+ facilities across 31 tracked operators, ingests live planning applications from 216 local councils via the PlanIt API, and scores any UK catchment on demand, supply gap, planning receptiveness, site access, economics and risk. Data refreshes every 24 hours and every row carries a source link — nothing modelled, nothing invented. The market context: the UK holds 64.3m sq ft of storage across a £1.2bn industry, yet supplies just 0.94 sq ft per person against 8+ in the US — a structural gap Storage Compass exists to help the industry close.
"Self-storage is a £1.2 billion industry that still runs on windshield surveys, broker relationships, and manually checking hundreds of separate council planning portals. Storage Compass is the tool the sector should have had ten years ago — the whole market on one map, refreshed daily, with every number traceable to its source."
Facility data is compiled from operator store-finders, OpenStreetMap and Companies House. Planning data ingests live from local authority registers via the PlanIt API, keyword-filtered for storage. Demographics are ONS-backed. Market benchmarks cite the SSA UK / Cushman & Wakefield Annual Industry Report 2025. Every facility row carries a visible source link, and any metric that cannot be sourced is flagged as unavailable rather than estimated.
