Clear next steps

Move forward with confidence after your insight

Once you’ve gained clarity on your planning situation, whether through Approval Likelihood Insight, Nearby Approvals & Refusals, or Typical Extension Sizes, the next question for most homeowners is:

What do I do now?

That’s exactly what Planning Permission Next Steps is designed to answer.

Instead of leaving you with data alone, this service helps you understand what to do with your insights in a practical, actionable way.

What “Planning Permission Next Steps” means for you

Planning data — like likelihood insights or local decision patterns — is valuable, but it’s even more powerful when you can turn it into decisions you can act on.

Planning Permission Next Steps shows you:

• Recommended actions based on your context

• Design or application options worth pursuing

• Practical sequencing for your project

• What to prepare before submitting an application

This isn’t a planning application service. It’s practical guidance and clarity about what to do next — tailored to your address and planning context.

Why this matters to homeowners

Data gives you understanding.
Action gives you progress.

After your planning insights, most homeowners want to know things like:

• Should I adjust my design and why?

• Am I better off pursuing permitted development rights?

• Do I need a planning consultant or architect?

• What is a sensible order of tasks to maximise success?

Planning Permission Next Steps helps you answer these questions so you:

• Avoid unnecessary costs

• Prepare stronger proposals

• Save time and frustration

You’ve already uncovered where you stand. Now let’s map out a clear way forward.

How it works

1. Start with your insight
   We use your existing planning insight like approval likelihood, local approvals and refusals, or typical extension sizes.

2. We translate it into action
   Our guidance translates evidence from your context into recommended next steps you can follow.

3. You get a roadmap you can use
   A plain-English action plan with priorities, sequencing, and suggested checkpoints for your planning journey.

No confusion. No policy excerpts. Just a structured plan you can apply.

Examples of next steps we help with

• Design adjustments
  If local refusals relate to scale or massing, we show how to refine your plans early.

• Permitted development checks
  Identify whether your project may succeed more easily under permitted development rights.

• Checklist before application
  A step-by-step list of what to prepare before submitting a planning application.

• Professional handoff guidance
  How to brief an architect, planning consultant, or agent with the right context.

Who this is for

• Homeowners ready to act on their planning insight

• People unsure of what comes next once they have evidence

• Anyone wanting less ambiguity and more clarity around planning submission decisions

• Homeowners seeking to avoid common pitfalls and sequence tasks effectively

Insight plus action equals confidence

Planning Permission Next Steps turns your planning insights into practical decisions, so you can move forward with clarity and structure — not guesswork or uncertainty.
