The service

A drafted statement, not a casual summary.

Suitable for homeowners and small developers who need clear, policy-literate wording without commissioning a full consultant report at this stage.

Conventional structure

Your draft follows the four sections officers expect — site & context, proposal, policy assessment, conclusion — so it reads as a serious planning submission rather than a covering note.

Common questions

Before you commit £69.

Is this a substitute for a planning consultant?
For straightforward householder schemes — extensions, loft conversions, change of use — the draft is suitable for submission as-is. For listed buildings, conservation schemes with significant impact, or contested change-of-use applications, we'd recommend an RTPI-accredited consultant review the draft before submission.
Will it cite the right policies for my LPA?
Yes. We bind the narrative to your authority's adopted local plan and supplementary planning documents. References are pulled from the live planning.data.gov.uk register, so they reflect what an officer would test against on the day of submission.
Can I edit the draft before submitting?
The draft is fully editable in your dashboard, exportable as DOCX, and includes two free regenerations within 14 days. Most users tweak one or two paragraphs — the structure and policy citations are usually the parts they keep verbatim.
What if my postcode isn't covered?
We cover local planning authorities across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If your site sits in a special area (National Park, Broads Authority, Crown land), the draft will flag the additional consultees you'll need to address — but the policy framework still binds correctly.
Is the £69 charged before I see the draft?
No. You sign in, fill in the proposal details, and preview the structure for free. The £69 is charged only at the point of generating the final cited draft.
Drafted document, not regulated advice. Statements generated by Planning Consult are intended to support submission but do not constitute formal RTPI-accredited consultancy on contested or borderline schemes.
