Route Comparison
About this tool: Strategy Simulator
Compare application routes — full planning vs LDC vs prior approval vs Section 73 vs PD. Scores each route on likelihood of success, cost, and timeline.
Use when you're unsure which application route to take. The simulator compares options side-by-side so you can make an informed strategic decision.

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.
