How Does PlanningAgent360 Work?

Everything starts with the site
Enter a postcode or drop a pin on the map, and PlanningAgent360 builds a clear picture of the site straight away. It identifies the relevant Local Planning Authority, pulls in planning history, policy, constraints and nearby context, so you’re not starting from a blank page.

Four steps to accelerated researching

Step 1. Bring your own knowledge in
Upload your reports, templates and past project work, or connect your existing document storage, so your data can be used alongside external planning information to build a full picture of the site. 
Step 2. Ask questions and explore
Ask straightforward questions about the site, policy or precedent. Want to know if you could build three houses at a specific location? Or maybe you’re looking to find out a specific policy consideration.  PlaningAgent360 will give you clear answers, with links back to the original sources so you can check and rely on them.
Step 3. See everything in the context of the site
All information is tied back to a specific location, so you’re only looking at what’s relevant, not generic results or trawling through irrelevant council websites and documents.  
Step 4. Create what you need
Once you’ve got all the information at your fingertips, you can ask PlanningAgent360 to produce documents or emails in line with your existing templates, whether that’s early advice, a fee proposal or report content.
