πŸ“‹ For Planning Consultants

Comparable evidence in seconds, not hours

Every pre-app assessment and planning statement needs comparable decisions. Planiverse finds them instantly β€” each linked to the original council record.

The challenge

Sound familiar?

The intelligence you need to give clients reliable advice is locked inside council portals that weren't designed to be searched.

πŸ’Έ

Comparable searches eat your margins

You're spending billable hours on council portal searches that could be done in seconds with the right tool. That time either erodes your margin or gets passed to the client β€” neither is good for the relationship.

πŸ“‘

Keeping up with council decision patterns

Each LPA has its own interpretation of policy. You need to know what's actually getting approved, not just what the NPPF says. Staying current across multiple authorities is a full-time job on its own.

βš–οΈ

Clients challenge your advice

When your feasibility assessment says "low risk" but the client wants proof, you need verifiable data backing every claim. Source links to council records close the argument and protect your professional position.
