Planning Appeals

Strengthen your argument.

Search UK appeal decisions. We've extracted the inspector's reasoning, the policies, and the site details, so research that took hours takes minutes.

From £29/month. No sales call, no credit card.

The feedback loop planning never had.

Every layer is built from the decision letter itself, and whatever the tools tell you, the paragraph it came from is one click away.

The official record

Appeal decisions from all four UK jurisdictions, straight from the five official systems as they publish. The case you'd have missed is already here.

One dataset

Raw decisions arrive messy: gaps, duplicates, formats that disagree. We repair and reconcile every record before it reaches you, so what you search is the record as it should have been kept.

Built for planning

Type the way planners talk. Green belt or GB, dwelling or dwellinghouse, the right cases surface however the letter phrased them. No quote marks, no syntax to learn.

Appeal Intelligence

Inside each English decision: we list what the inspector accepted, what they rejected, and the policies that carried weight. Straight to the paragraph that matters, without reading every letter.

Two ways in

Self-serve on your plan: search, map, policy performance, appeal probability, procedure choice, LPA profiles, alerts. Or bespoke: tell us the question, we find the pattern across the full dataset.

Your judgement

We save you the hours of finding the patterns and the insights. How to read them, and what to do with them, stays yours.

Why now

Submit once. Submit right.

The Planning Inspectorate's changes mean that in most cases, no new information can be introduced at appeal. That puts the weight on intelligence before you submit: a quick check now saves awkward questions later. Each decision is a ruling on which arguments held up, which policies carried weight, and why. We give you the feedback loop the sector never had.

How you'd use it

You could trawl the Casework Portal, read letter after letter, and ask around the office. Or:

Before you submit

Check the ground first.

See how similar projects have fared and how policy is interpreted at a national level. Better data in your submission before it's tested.

When the refusal lands

Quality information, fast.

Search how similar cases have fared by authority, case type and procedure. Informed advice when the client needs it most.

Writing the statement

Find the right references.

Inspector reasoning and policy interpretation surfaced from the original decisions. Verifiable, traceable, directly from the source.

Defending your decision

Test reasons before they're tested.

Check how reasoning and policy interpretation holds up. Confident planning responses grounded in the full record.

What sets it apart

What we extract from every decision, and how you check it.

01

The inspector's reasoning, issue by issue.

Every point, for and against, on every case.

02

NPPF paragraphs and local plan policies, tagged.

The policies behind each point, surfaced and ready to filter.

03

The site details, extracted.

Designations and development metrics, identified from the decision letters: Green Belt to flood zone, dwellings to scale.

04

Trace every point to the source.

Each one links to the inspector's words in the decision letter. Check it in seconds.

05

The full chain, end to end.

Decision letter to original planning application, linked back to the LPA portal.

219,000+ appeals across four jurisdictions. Zoom in, search the area, load the results.

Built for how you actually work

The tools you need to search, organise, and stay on top of new decisions.

Search the way you think.

No quote marks, no syntax to learn. Type it plainly, and operators and filters are there when you want them.

Search by location.

See any search as a list or a map. Or start from the map, zoom to an area, and search just there.

Save and organise your research.

Cases into collections, searches saved to rerun later.

Export anything.

Individual cases or bulk CSV. Take your research with you.

Never miss a relevant decision.

Decisions land daily. Alerts bring the relevant ones to you. Follow pending cases through to the decision.

Know who's deciding.

The authority's allow rate and timescales, and the inspector's past decisions, on every case.

Appeal Intelligence

Intelligence, not just search.

One case tells you what happened. The whole record tells you what holds up. The insights tools have already done that analysis, so the answer is there when you need it.

POLICY PERFORMANCE

Which policies hold up?

See how local policies have fared at your authority, and NPPF paragraphs nationally. At one London authority, appeals engaging a single local policy were allowed 88% of the time.

APPEAL PROBABILITY

What are your chances?

See how appeals like yours have fared: the allow rate by authority and case type, not just the national average.

PROCEDURE CHOICE

Written reps, hearing or inquiry?

See how outcomes differ by route for cases like yours, before you commit to one.

There's more inside, and we're still building.

Two ways to get there

Some questions a search bar answers. Some need the data run to your question.

Included with your plan

Use the insights.

See which arguments hold up in cases like yours, which policies carry weight with inspectors, and how similar schemes have fared. Self-serve, included.

Bespoke analysis

Tell us the question.

For the questions a search bar can't answer. Statistical analysis across the full dataset, surfacing patterns manual research can't reach. You get the findings, the judgement stays yours, and you'll know the cost before anything starts.
