What it does
Four tools, one record of your work
A site drawn once flows through everything: the appraisal, the casework that follows, the appeals around it and the plan behind it.
Assess
Site Appraisals
Draw the red line and the constraints, history and appeals around it assemble themselves. Finish with a branded PDF.

A decade of appeal decisions, readable at last
Over 230,000 English appeal decisions since 2016, sourced directly from the Planning Inspectorate, with the decision letters behind them. Search by what the Inspector actually reasoned. Read any authority's track record. See what was decided around any site, and what is live there now.
- Every authority’s record: allowed rates by development type and procedure
- Comparable decisions with the letter one tap away
- Costs decisions read separately: who applied, who paid, and why
- AI reads the letters of the last five years: main issues, reasoning, weight and housing land supply

The Wider Picture
Open the app knowing what moved
Between site visits, Inspectors decide and the government publishes. The dashboard reads both for you, so keeping up stops being a job.
Moving at appeal
The issues Inspectors are deciding most right now, found by comparing the last 30 days of decisions against the run before them. Each issue carries its recent allowed rate and the newest decisions behind it, with what was proposed. News from the decisions themselves, before the trade press has read them.
Guidance, policy and legislation
Changes to national guidance, Inspectorate procedure and legislation from the last 30 days, drawn straight from GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk. The reference library sits beneath: the NPPF, the PPG, the 1990 Act and the GPDO, a tap away. No newsletter, nothing to unsubscribe from.
The professional difference
Built for the professionals who stand behind the work
Planning work carries professional liability, and it rests with the chartered planner, surveyor or architect who signs it. Town Planner Pro assumes you know your subject, lays the material out to the standard you work to, and leaves the judgement to you.
Professional integrity
The tool frames the law, the policy and the constraints. The judgement, and the accountability, stay with the named professional.
Reliable evidence
Constraints from the official government sources, each shown with where it came from, so you can check the picture rather than just trust it.
Consistent at scale
Every site assessed the same way, to the same standard, however many hands touch the work.
How it compares
What this replaces
Most planners already pay for part of this: an appeals subscription for the research, a mapping tool for the constraints, and a spreadsheet for the deadlines. Here is where each of those stops.
| What you need it to do | Appeal databases | Mapping & land tools | Town Planner Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Every English appeal, with the decision letter wherever PINS published one | Yes | No | Yes |
| Coverage beyond England | Yes | Partly | No |
| The Inspector's reasoning and main issues, not just the outcome | Yes | No | Yes |
| Housing land supply as accepted at appeal, dated against the plan | No | No | Yes |
| Costs decisions read separately from the appeal | Partly | No | Yes |
| Constraints assembled around your own red line boundary | No | Yes | Yes |
| Nutrient neutrality, European sites and heritage at risk | No | Partly | Yes |
| Draw the boundary once and carry it through everything | No | Partly | Yes |
| Client-ready appraisal PDF under your own branding | No | Partly | Yes |
| Casework deadlines tracked on the same record | No | No | Yes |
| Development plans monitored across your authorities | Partly | No | Yes |
| Works on site, on a phone, without a signal | No | No | Yes |
| Capture a new site while standing on it | No | Partly | Yes |
| Priced for an individual professional | Partly | No | Yes |
Compared by category rather than by product name, because tools change and we would rather this stayed true than stayed flattering. The appeal databases are good at what they do, and one of them beats us outright on coverage: ours is England only. What none of them do is follow the site out of the office and back again.
