What Would an Inspector Say?
Enter your refusal reasons (actual or anticipated) and proposal details. Our AI will simulate an inspector's assessment — searching real appeal decisions for precedent and generating a structured inspector-style analysis.

How It Works
The simulator analyses your refusal reasons against real appeal decisions, NPPF policy, and LPA behaviour patterns. Claude AI then generates an inspector-style assessment using the same reasoning framework real inspectors use.
Best Results
Paste the exact refusal reason wording from the decision notice. The more specific the language, the better the AI can match against precedent cases and generate accurate inspector reasoning.
When to Use This
Use after receiving a refusal to assess appeal prospects. Or use before submission to stress-test your proposal against likely refusal grounds. Helps you decide: appeal, resubmit, or redesign?
Limitations
This is a simulation, not legal advice. Real inspector decisions depend on site visits, specific evidence, and the full planning balance. Always consult a planning professional for appeal decisions involving significant costs.
