Questions?

What is PlanSave?

PlanSave is planning software built for architects. It researches, interrogates and challenges your application, helping you identify issues, strengthen the planning case and promote the proposal effectively.

I can write a Planning Statement. Why do I need PlanSave?

Could you formulate a defensible planning strategy and draft a persuasive Planning Statement in 93 minutes? At £199, PlanSave Project equates to around 93 minutes of a typical architect's time.

A Planning Statement is not a validation requirement. What is the value?

Because validation is only the starting point. A Planning Statement is your opportunity to promote the scheme — presenting the proposal, evidence and planning arguments in the way most likely to resonate with the LPA or Inspector.

Is PlanSave replacing a planning consultant?

No. Some projects need specialist advice, negotiation or representation. PlanSave is designed for the everyday applications architectural practices already handle themselves.

Think like a planner.
