Priced for the question you actually have
Most projects don’t need a consultant on day one. They need to know what applies at the address, what could block the project, and what the local evidence says, before any real money is spent. That is what these reports do.

You’re paying for judgement, not paperwork
Design decides more outcomes than any other single factor in a planning decision. These reports are priced against that fact, not against the paperwork it takes to produce one.
The honest comparison
| Option | Cost | Time | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Case study (free to read) | Free | Now | A complete real report for a sample address, showing exactly what you receive |
| Standard report | £50 | Minutes | Site at a glance, the policies that apply (verbatim), blockers, considerations |
| Pro report | £99 | Minutes | Everything in Standard, plus real nearby decisions with outcomes and an evidence-based reading |
| Council pre-application advice | £50–£300 | 2–6 weeks | An officer’s informal view on a specific proposal |
| Planning consultant | £1,500+ | Weeks | Professional representation (the right call for complex or contested schemes) |
These aren’t all competitors. For complex or contested schemes, a consultant is the right call. A Planning Policy report is the cheapest way to find out whether yours is that kind of project.
