From postcode to verified report
While your report builds, the progress you watch is the real work happening (live data reads, plan ingestion, verification), never a loading bar for show. Here is the whole pipeline, step by step.
You tell us the address and the project
A postcode and one sentence: “dig out the basement for a bedroom and a lightwell”. That sentence is read into a structured understanding of the project: its type, its scale, what to search for nearby.
We read the official record for your property
The national planning data index is queried live for every designation intersecting your address: conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed buildings, flood zones, Green Belt, protected trees and more. Each finding carries its official record link.
The policy hierarchy is assembled for your project
National policy (the NPPF and permitted development guidance), strategic policy where it exists (the London Plan for the 33 boroughs), and your council’s adopted Local Plan. The policies that bear on your project are selected and quoted verbatim.
Real decisions near you are analysed
On the Pro report, decided applications of your project type within a kilometre are pulled from council registers (approved and refused, each linking to the real case file) and read into an evidence-based view of how your council treats schemes like yours.
Every quote passes the gate
Before the report renders, deterministic software checks every policy quote character-for-character against the stored official text. Quotes that fail are replaced with verified extracts and the failure logged. This step is code, not AI, by design.
Your report arrives in minutes
Five sections in plain English: your site at a glance, what applies, potential blockers, things to consider, and (Pro) the nearby evidence. Yours to keep, print, and verify. Every claim links to its source.
Software, not narrative
The six steps above aren’t a sales pitch. They’re the same evidence read and the same verification gate applied, whichever project you describe and wherever in England you are.
