📍 Assess for:

🕵️ Case Officer Intelligence

Go beyond authority-level data. Understand individual case officer behaviour — approval rates, decision speed, refusal patterns, and what they focus on. Intelligence your competitors don't have.

🔒 PlanningCore Exclusive — Deep Officer Behaviour Analytics

🕵️

Know Your Case Officer Before They Know Your Application

Enter an LPA name above to see officer-level intelligence. Understand their approval patterns, decision speed, and refusal tendencies — then tailor your submission accordingly.

What Makes This Different

📊 Officer Approval Rates

See each officer's personal approval rate, not just the authority average. Know whether your officer approves 95% or 65% of applications.

PlanningCore Exclusive

⏱️ Decision Speed Profile

Average days to decision per officer. Know if your officer is fast (under 8 weeks) or chronically slow — and plan your timeline accordingly.

Officer-level granularity

🚫 Refusal Pattern Analysis

What does this officer refuse on most? Design? Highways? Amenity? Heritage? Know their focus areas and address them proactively.

Deep refusal analytics

⚖️ Appeal Overturn Rate

How often are this officer's refusals overturned on appeal? A high overturn rate suggests the officer is too strict — useful for your appeal strategy.

Appeal data linked to officers

🏛️ Committee vs Delegated Split

Does this officer usually decide under delegated powers, or do their cases end up at committee? Different preparation needed for each route.

Committee/delegated tracking

🧠 Strategic Advice

Based on the officer's patterns, get tailored advice: what to emphasise in your planning statement, what issues to pre-empt, and how to frame your scheme.
