FAQ
Does this tell me whether planning permission will be granted?
No. It organises research and questions; it does not predict or guarantee permission.
Is this legal advice?
No. Use appropriately qualified professionals for legal title, rights, restrictions and transactions.
Is it UK-wide?
The workflow is portable, but planning and land-registration systems differ by nation. Use the relevant authorities.
