PlanScore uses data-driven analysis to assess your project's likelihood of approval by UK planning authorities.
The UK planning system is notoriously complex and costly due to a combination of factors. Every local authority (there are over 600) has its own planning policies, interpretations, and political priorities, meaning what’s acceptable in one area might be rejected in another. Navigating this patchwork of rules requires a deep understanding of both national guidance and local nuance.
On top of that, the process often involves hiring consultants, architects, and planning agents - all before knowing if a proposal stands a real chance. Add in delays, appeals, and revisions, and it’s easy to see why applying for planning permission can be an uncertain and expensive journey up to hundreds of thousands of pounds for certain developments.
Getting a planning application approved can be complex — but understanding your chances shouldn’t be. PlanScore gives you the insight you need, in three simple steps.
Start by entering a few key details about your planning proposal — such as the property address, project type (e.g. extension, new build, conversion), and any relevant documents or plans. The more detail you provide, the better our analysis.
Our platform gets to work instantly. We assess your proposal against thousands of past planning decisions, local council policies, and site-specific factors. Using a combination of data science and planning expertise, we generate a custom score that reflects how likely your application is to be approved.
Within three working days , you’ll receive your PlanScore — a clear, easy-to-understand report outlining your approval likelihood, key risks, and tailored recommendations to improve your chances. Use it to refine your proposal, inform your architect or planning consultant, or simply move forward with confidence.
PlanScore helps you make informed decisions before you submit — saving you time, money, and uncertainty.
