Frequently asked questions
No. You can buy a single document for £95, or a planning appeal statement for £395 (for applications submitted before 1 April 2026), whenever you need one — no subscription required. On the Practice and Studio plans an appeal document is £195, and the appellant's final comments are £195 again — so a full written-representations appeal is £390 on a plan against £790 pay as you go. Studio includes 2 appeal documents each billing period; after those, the plan rate applies. A monthly plan is only worth it if you generate several documents a month. The Permitted Development check is free for everyone.
A document credit is only used the moment you generate a finished document. If a generation fails or is parked, no credit is used. Credits you have bought never expire.
Yes — cancel whenever you like. Your plan stays active until the end of your current billing period. No lock-in, no cancellation fees.
Each Planning Statement, LDC supporting statement, Prior Approval statement, or planning appeal statement you generate counts as one document. A planning appeal statement is a full written-representations appeal arguing each refusal reason, cited to the local plan and the NPPF — available for planning applications submitted before 1 April 2026. (Later applications follow the new 250-word Part 1 procedure, which takes no statement.) Permitted Development checks are always free and don't count toward your limit.
