Three sample reports, one per situation we see most often. Each shows the format, depth and structure you receive in 48 hours — methodology and findings pattern drawn from real paid cases, identifiers fictionalised for distribution.

Planning History Due Diligence

The situation

Acquisition under offer in a rural AONB. Standard searches came back clean. Buyer’s instinct said something was off.

What the sample shows

A withdrawn Certificate of Lawfulness finding that unresolves the property’s lawful dwelling status. A 1949 National Trust covenant. A 1982 Secretary of State conveyance restricting primary development land. The full 13-record postcode cluster. Four ranked pre-exchange actions.

Enforcement Response Intelligence

The situation

Enforcement notice in force. Six weeks to compliance deadline. Existing advisors had identified one response route; the owner needed to know if there were more.

What the sample shows

Four legal routes ranked by merit — CLEUD argument, procedural challenge, two grounds of appeal. Comparable enforcement table showing the LPA’s actual pattern. Three draft letters ready for the solicitor’s review. Four-step action plan to work the 28-day window.

Pre-Appeal Intelligence

The situation

Two refusals on the same site. About to commission a third application without changing approach. Needed to know what the LPA had actually said yes to nearby.

What the sample shows

A comparable consent granted 400m away on the same road — officer wording retrieved in full. Your refusal reasons mapped against the comparable. Five pre-application questions to put to the LPA. Cluster intelligence across 2km radius. Three-step recommended strategy.

A note on anonymisation

Real findings. Fictional identifiers.

Every finding pattern in these samples is drawn from real paid Planning Decoder cases. The hidden CLEUD withdrawal. The National Trust covenant surfaced from the Charges Register. The enforcement notice procedural point missed by existing advisors. The comparable consent 400m away that reframed an appeal strategy. These are the kinds of findings we retrieve in practice.

What we’ve changed for distribution: property names, postcodes, title numbers, application references, case officer names and location specifics are all fictionalised. The methodology, the findings pattern, the sources and the structure are identical to what a real paying client receives in their report.

Why this matters: we don’t distribute actual client reports as marketing material. Your commissioned report is yours, and stays yours.
