Two ways in
Ask the record, or ask us.
Search finds cases. We find patterns.
You run it
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 with named seats, two-factor authentication, invoicing and purchase orders.
We run it
The question a search can't answer.
For when you have a question rather than a search: how a policy is interpreted across an authority, whether costs follow a case type or procedure, the pattern behind a difficult site. 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. And for applications dated on or after 1 April 2026, in most cases the case you submit is the case that gets decided. Three places that matter:
EARLY
Appraise against the record.
See how similar projects have fared at local and national level. Have similar sites consistently gone to appeal? Is a policy read differently in this authority than nationally? Check the record and give informed advice at an early stage.
LOOK AT THE RIGHT INFORMATION
Quality information, fast.
Develop a confident planning approach with all the data in view. Search and filter for very specific cases, and see policy interpretation surfaced from inspector reasoning, built on 1.1M policy citations extracted from the record.
CHECK EACH POINT
Transparent, traceable information.
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.
Between cases, collections keep research organised by client, and alerts bring new relevant decisions to you.
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 for the client call.
Read one at a time, decision letters tell you the outcome of a single case. Read together, they show the pattern. Manage client risk and give better advice early in the project.
What are the chances?
Quickly understand how site constraints, planning approaches or project types have fared at appeal. See allow rates by local authority, case type or procedure, not just the national average, and how each local or national policy performs. Inform the direction of a project at an early stage.
National record, specific insights.
Are you looking at all the data available to you? Follow live cases to keep up with current inspector reasoning and find the arguments that matter quickly. And when the question outgrows a search, we run bespoke analysis across the whole record.
