Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel any time?

Yes — cancel whenever you like. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period. No lock-in, no cancellation fees.

What counts as a document?

Each Design & Access Statement or LDC Supporting Statement you generate counts as one document. Permitted Development checks are always free and don't count toward your limit.

Which Local Planning Authorities are supported?

Currently 7 councils across East Sussex and Kent — all with full local plan policy libraries. We add new councils regularly and are expanding across the South East and nationally throughout 2026.

Is VAT included in the prices?

Prices shown exclude VAT. Buildwise is not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is charged at checkout.

Can I switch plans?

Yes — upgrade or downgrade any time from your billing page. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated charges. Downgrades take effect at the next billing period.

Do unused documents roll over?

No — your document allowance resets at the start of each billing period. Contact us about pay-as-you-go credits (coming soon) if you need more flexibility.
