If you've landed on api-lpa-planningportal.pr.tqinfra.co.uk, you're probably looking at a UK planning portal subdomain. But this isn't like the official Planning Portal run by the UK government. That one has clear branding, contact details, and a long track record. This site has none of those things. The domain name itself is oddly structured, and the WHOIS record couldn't even be retrieved because the name violates Nominet's rules. There's no privacy policy, no terms of service, and no way to contact anyone. The web archive has never seen it. That combination is a bad sign for any site that might ask for personal details or planning application data. The technical side is fine, but the total lack of transparency makes it impossible to know if your information would be handled responsibly. Our verdict: this site is Suspicious. If you need to submit anything to a planning authority, stick with official channels.
No — api-lpa-planningportal.pr.tqinfra.co.uk doesn't look safe
In plain English
This site feels like a placeholder or test environment rather than a genuine public service. The SSL is fine and it's not blacklisted, but there's absolutely no information about who runs it, no contact details, no legal pages, and no history of ever existing before today. For anything involving personal data or planning submissions, I'd steer clear until the owners identify themselves properly.
What you should do now
Don't panic. These steps limit the damage, and the sooner you take them the better.

No passwords, card numbers or personal information — even if the site looks professional.
Close the tab
Especially if you got here from an email, text message or social media ad.
Already paid? Call your bank
Contact your bank or card provider right away. They can often stop or reverse a recent payment.

Where the score comes from
Solid technical security: a valid SSL certificate with modern TLS, clean blacklist status, and no malware flags from Google. Missing basic browser protections like clickjacking prevention, but that's not unusual for a backend API endpoint.
Almost no identity clues. The WHOIS lookup failed because the domain name itself breaks UK naming rules, and there's no company name, about page, or any record of who runs this site. For any public service handling user data, this is a major red flag.
Not blacklisted and the site loads fast, but the Wayback Machine has never seen it before. A brand-new domain with no track record means there's no history to judge reliability by.
You won't find a contact email, phone number, social media account, or any 'about us' content. Even a hobby blog usually provides some way to reach someone. This site offers zero ways to learn who's behind it.
No privacy policy, terms of service, or legal disclosures of any kind. If this site collects any personal information, it's operating without the basic legal framework that UK law expects of commercial services.
The server runs on modern technology and DNS resolution is fine, but there are no protections like DNSSEC and no security headers. The lack of email setup (no MX records) suggests this isn't set up for customer communication.
