1.0 — How it works

Three steps from postcode to report

01

We read the official record

Designations from the national planning data index, your council’s adopted Local Plan, national policy, and decided applications near your address.

02

Your report is written for your project

Not generic guidance. The policies that apply to what you described, at your address — with the blockers and considerations specific to your property.

03

Every quote passes the gate

Every quoted policy is checked, character for character, against the official document before your report is generated. If it doesn’t match, it doesn’t render.

“When considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation (and the more important the asset, the greater the weight should be).”

4.0 — Questions

Asked and answered

How much does a report cost?
A Standard report is £50 and a Pro report is £99. The Pro report adds real decided planning applications near your address with outcomes. There is no subscription — you pay once per report, and if a report cannot be generated you do not pay.
Can I see a report before I buy?
Yes. Our case studies are complete, real reports generated from live data for real London postcodes — the same engine, the same format you receive. They are free to read and show exactly what your report will look like for your address.
Where does the data come from?
Official sources only: planning.data.gov.uk for designations, gov.uk for national policy, councils’ adopted Local Plans for local policy, and council planning registers for nearby decisions. Every fact in a report links to its official record.
How do I know a quote is real?
Every policy quote is checked character-for-character against the stored official document before your report is allowed to generate. The check is deterministic software, not AI — if a quote doesn’t match its source exactly, it never reaches you.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a professional screening report: what applies at your address, what the evidence shows, and what to consider. It does not replace pre-application advice from your council or professional representation for complex cases — it tells you where you stand before you spend money on either.
What if the data is incomplete for my area?
We tell you. Councils publish to the national index at different rates, and some adopted Local Plans cannot yet be machine-read. When something is missing we say exactly what was and wasn’t checked — we never fill gaps with guesses.
