Before you submit,
get a second pair of expert eyes.
Send us the planning package you are about to submit and we will review it in writing within 48 hours: the gaps to close, the constraints to address, and the appeal data to strengthen your case.
You get one first impression with the council
A refusal costs you the application fee, the months of waiting, and a resubmission cycle, and for an architect it is your reputation with the client on the line. Most of what sinks an application is visible on the desk before it is ever submitted.
A fixed-price review beforehand catches the gaps and adds the evidence, so you submit from a position of strength.
What the review covers
Gap analysis
What a validating, well-evidenced submission needs for your route, and what your package is missing or treating too lightly.
Constraints you have under-addressed
Flood, heritage, ecology, trees, ground, access and policy points a case officer will raise, flagged before they do.
Appeal data that helps you
Relevant precedent from 1,000+ verified appeal decisions, so your case is argued the way inspectors actually decide.
Prioritised, practical tips
A clear, ranked list of what to fix, strengthen, or add before you submit, with the reasoning behind each one.
How it works
Send us your package
Your drawings, Planning Statement, Design and Access Statement and supporting documents, by email or a shared link. Tell us the site and the route you are taking.
We review it
We read the package against the site constraints, current policy, and our verified appeal-precedent library, and build a structured review.
You get a written review
A clear PDF within 48 hours: prioritised feedback, the gaps to close, and the evidence to strengthen your case before you submit.

What it is, and what it is not
A Pre-Submission Review is an independent desktop review to strengthen your package and reduce avoidable risk. It is not a guarantee of planning permission, not formal planning representation, and not a substitute for your planning consultant's sign-off. It helps you submit a stronger, better-evidenced application. You can read how we verify every report.
