Site Appraisals

Drop a pin, draw the red line, and the site builds itself: constraints, the appeals around it, a branded PDF at the end. Planning history imports from the register and the app structures it. Minutes to a checked picture of a site, not hours searching different websites.

The site record: map, constraints, photos, planning history, appeals and appraisal in one place
One record per site: map, constraints, photos, history, appeals and the appraisal, in tabs.
  • Constraints checked

    Flood, heritage, ecology, green belt, nutrient neutrality and more, from the official sources, each shown with its origin.

  • Planning history without retyping

    Import from an LPA register or a screenshot; the app reads and structures it.

  • Geotagged photos

    Where you stood and what you saw, plotted against the boundary, straight into the appraisal.

  • Appeals around the site

    Every located decision within your radius, from every year on record, letter a tap away.

  • Documents with the site

    Decision notices, drawings and correspondence kept against the site, synced to every device.

  • The branded PDF

    The whole site in one client-ready document, under your practice branding.

Capture on iPhone

Standing on a site? Capture it in seconds.

Open Capture and the phone does the rest: location, postcode and authority from where you are standing, photos attached from the start. It is waiting at your desk to be worked up properly.

  • Drop a pin from GPS, or search an address
  • Postcode and authority resolved for you
  • A first read of the constraints on the spot
  • Finish the boundary later on the iPad

The checks

Each constraint, carded with its evidence

A map, the finding, and a one-tap link to the official source it came from.

Heritage constraint card: listed buildings, conservation area, link to Historic England
Heritage: issues identified, review required.
Flooding constraint card: flood zones 2 and 3, the future climate-change zone and surface water
Flooding, including the future climate-change zone.
Landscape and environment constraint card showing no issues identified
Landscape: a clean card says so plainly.

Transport

The Framework's transport tests, measured on the site

The new NPPF asks precise questions of a site: is it within 800 metres of a station, does the service meet the frequency test, and which density expectation follows. The card answers each limb with measured figures, and states the policies engaged as considerations, not a verdict.

  • Station catchment at 800 metres, the service-frequency test measured from timetables: overall and busiest direction
  • Bus stops and weekday frequencies within 400m and 800m, from Bus Open Data
  • The density expectation that follows, stated with the policy it comes from
  • Travel to work area position, National Cycle Network routes, nearest stations and stops with distances
Transport card: 800 metre station catchment, measured train and bus frequencies, cycle network and the policy position for the site
Inside a station catchment: each limb measured, the policy position set out.

Appeals around the site

What have Inspectors decided around here?

Pick a radius and every located decision on record appears, from every year, nearest first, with outcome, distance and the letter a tap away. Precedent as a constraint layer.
