The Challenge
Householder applications consume the officer weeks that major schemes need, and determination deadlines slip while consultees are chased. Legacy planning documents are scanned paper that no system can read.
How It Works
- Reads application forms, drawings, constraint layers, consultee replies and the plan.
- Tests the proposal against each policy and precedent and flags where judgement is needed.
- Gives the case officer a drafted report with policy citations, ready for signature.
What It Removes
- Manual extraction of data from scanned plans
- Retyping policy wording into officer reports
- Chasing consultee responses by individual email
Input Data RequirementsPlanning application forms and drawings, adopted local plan and policy maps, constraint layers, consultee responses, prior decisions
Output FormatDrafted officer report per application with policy citations, constraint findings and a flag on every judgement point
