Planning Intelligence: Know Your Submission Readiness

Turn planning preparation into structured, trackable workflow, from screening constraints to submission-ready applications

The Planning Preparation Problem

Policy guidance scattered across local plans, SPDs, national frameworks. Hard to know what applies.

Constraints discovered months into the process. Issues that should have been caught early become expensive blockers.

Teams struggle to assess whether applications are genuinely ready or still have evidence gaps and compliance issues.

Track projects through defined planning stages

Identify planning designations, Article 4 directions, conservation areas, TPOs, flood zones

Prepare pre-app materials, track officer feedback, adjust strategy before formal submission

Build evidence library, complete validation checklists, prepare supporting statements

Track validation, officer reports, committee dates, conditions, and discharge requirements

Surface relevant planning policy and compliance requirements

Local plan policies: Identify which policies apply to your site and scheme type
SPDs and design guides: Surface supplementary planning documents for area-specific requirements
National guidance: Reference NPPF, design codes, and national technical standards
Conflict identification: Flag potential policy tensions or compliance gaps early

Track evidence completeness and blocker resolution

Validation checklist: Ensure all required documents are complete before submission
Policy compliance checks: Assess alignment with material policies and identify compliance gaps
Blocker tracking: Flag outstanding issues that must be resolved before applications proceed
Submission confidence: Give teams visibility into whether applications are genuinely ready

Catch constraints, policy conflicts, and evidence gaps at screening stage. Not months into the process

Every project follows the same structured workflow, reducing missed steps and improving team coordination

Know when applications are genuinely ready versus when gaps remain, reducing validation rejections
