Search finds cases. We find patterns.

Use the insights.
Search appeal cases as you would with any tool you know, and see how authorities and policies perform at appeal. Find cases in seconds. Good for most case research. Team plans for chambers and firms, with named seats, two-factor authentication, invoicing and purchase orders.
We run it
The question a search can't answer.
For when the case needs more than a search: how a policy has been interpreted across authorities, whether costs follow a case type or procedure, the pattern behind the argument you're facing. We run the analysis across the whole record and send you the findings. One-off or regular, to your criteria.
How you'd use it
Each appeal decision is a ruling on which arguments held up, which policies carried weight, and why. Research and referencing are a large share of preparation time. The record, structured, cuts it. Three places that matter:
BUILDING THE CASE
Find the cases that matter.
Cut the noise. Find the cases that turn on the same reasoning and policy interpretation as yours, and scan more decisions with more clarity. See whether a term is central to a case or a passing mention before you open it.
RESPONSES
Faster to the argument that matters.
View inspector reasoning point by point across 2.9M points of reasoning, quickly identify relevant or similar arguments, and put the time saved into strategy and response.
CHECK EACH POINT
Transparent, direct from the original source.
Each argument checkable against the inspector's words, each row traceable to its decision letter. Open the original documents, and the linked planning application, and check for yourself.
Also included: live case tracking, with alerts when the decision lands. Team plans with named seats, so search history, tracked cases and shared results stay with the team, and consistency of interpretation survives staff changes.
What you get, and what you don't.
We're not planning consultants. We don't write your statement, weigh your case, or give advice. We put the evidence in front of you: the cases, the inspector's reasoning, and patterns across the whole record that no manual search would surface. You draw the conclusions. The report is yours.
Appeal Intelligence
Answers before the hearing.
Read one at a time, decision letters tell you the outcome of a single case. Read together, they show the pattern. And when the case needs more than a search, we run the analysis across the whole record.
Point by point, in their words.
Each inspector argument, point by point, in the inspector's words. Search by case type or procedure, with costs decisions alongside the planning decision.
Policy-level precision.
NPPF paragraphs and local plan policies tagged where they appear, so you move from a policy to the cases and arguments that turn on it in one step.
When the case warrants more.
We run statistical analysis across the whole record: how a policy is interpreted, whether costs follow a case type or procedure, how an authority performs. Findings traced to the decisions behind them, so you can put your name to it.
