Bespoke analysis
Some questions a planning search won't answer.
Tell us what you need to know about appeal decisions, local policy or inspector reasoning. We find the pattern in the data and trace each finding back to the decisions, so you can put your name to it.
Built for
What you can ask
The kind of thing people bring us
If it’s in the decisions, we can find the pattern. A few examples:
How are inspectors treating grey belt arguments since the December 2024 framework, and which ones are landing?
Arguing a live appeal
How does my authority's allow rate compare to the national pattern, for my scheme type?
Advising on prospects
Across appeals that turned on a named local plan policy, how often did inspectors find it carried weight, and what reasoning recurred?
Local plan review
We submit on a major residential scheme in eight weeks. Where have schemes like ours failed at appeal, and why?
Before a major submission
Ask once, or make it a regular report: early warning when the pattern shifts.

How it works
From question to findings
You ask
Send your question. The more specific, the sharper the answer.
We find the pattern
Statistical analysis across the full dataset: 219,000+ appeals, not a sample.
You get findings
A clear write-up you can act on, with the figures and the decisions behind each finding, so you can stand it up yourself. Most findings land within 10 working days, quicker if you need it.
Why it holds up
Confidence that holds up under scrutiny
Analysis that used to mean weeks of reading, or couldn’t be done at all. Built to be checked.
Traceable to the decision letter
Every finding traces back to decisions you can open and read. If it's in the write-up, it's in a decision letter.
Built by people who understand planning
Co-founded by a chartered architect (ARB, RIBA). The analysis is shaped by someone who knows planning from the inside, not just the data.
Depth a search can't reach
219,000+ appeals across all four UK jurisdictions, updated daily. Development detail, designations, policy and inspector reasoning behind England decisions.
We find the pattern. You take it into the room.
Tell us what you need to know
We reply with what’s possible, how long it takes and what it costs. Nothing starts until you say so.
