The homepage told you what it does. Here's how it works — section by section, with real screenshots from the platform.
7-day free trial. Full access. No credit card required.
Search that understands planning language
Boolean operators, smart filters, and term match indicators that show you how relevant each case is before you open it. Type naturally or build precise queries — across all four UK jurisdictions.
The arguments the inspector considered
Each case is broken down argument by argument. Deciding factors are highlighted. NPPF and local plan policies are tagged as badges. Arguments link to the inspector's words in the decision letter — and every case links back to the original planning application on the LPA portal.
We show our working. You verify it yourself.
Expand “Show excerpt” and read the passage from the decision letter. The source text alongside the extraction, so you can judge for yourself whether the argument applies to your case.
This is what sets the platform apart from tools that give you a summary and ask you to trust it. Planning professionals cite sources. So do we.
208,000+ appeals on a map
Every geocoded appeal across the UK, colour-coded by outcome. Zoom in, filter by outcome, and pull results straight into the full search view.
Build your research library. Stay current automatically.
Save cases into collections. Save searches and re-run them with one click. Set up daily or weekly email alerts so new matching cases arrive in your inbox. Track pending appeals and get notified the moment a decision lands.
Works for one person. Scales to a whole team.
Professional plan for solo practitioners. Team plan with named seats, individual workspaces, and admin controls. MFA enforcement, self-service billing through Stripe, and sign-in with Google or Microsoft. Larger organisations needing invoicing or 10+ seats — get in touch.
Intelligence, not just search
Go beyond finding cases. Understand the patterns behind the decisions. Select an LPA, case type, and procedure — see allow rates, typical durations, inspector track records, and how they compare to the national average. Based on real outcomes across the full database, not estimates.
More insight tools are on the way. We're building the evidence base to help you make better appeal decisions.
