Stop refreshing council portals. We watch them for you.
Register the applications your practice acts on. Our acquisition network watches the council side — Idox, Tascomi, Northgate and Civica portals — and every material change lands here as an event: validation, officer assignment, committee dates, the decision itself. Each change arrives with a drafted client update, ready to review and send.
Indicative pricing: £99–£299/month per practice by portfolio size. Early access is free while we onboard the first practices.

About this tool: Portal Watch
Register the applications your practice acts on; our acquisition network watches the council portals and turns every change — validation, officer assignment, decision — into an event with a drafted client update.
For consultancies and architects managing live applications across multiple councils. Replaces manual portal checking.
Procedural monitoring across Idox, Tascomi, Northgate and Civica portals
Use these tools to understand how your Local Planning Authority behaves — what they approve, what they refuse, how often appeals succeed, and what strategy gives you the best chance. This is behavioural intelligence, not just policy research.
Guidance to help you prepare — not formal planning advice. Check the current policy text and your council's local plan before relying on it.
