We identify every vulnerability a hostile planning officer would find in your application – ranked by severity, evidenced from your own documents, before the decision is made.
GLA non-compliance points identified independently before the Stage 1 letter was published. Zero false positives.
Run on the LEB Building submission documents in May 2026. Five of six formal GLA non-compliance points were independently identified – a blind backtest, analysed before the Stage 1 letter was available. The one miss is now incorporated into the methodology.

V-Score reads across the entire submission – not document by document – finding the internal inconsistencies, evidential gaps and policy failures a hostile officer would use, then scoring them by severity.
A busy project director does not need to read the full methodology. Here is what V-Score actually does.
A pre-submission audit that quantifies planning risk before design spend is committed. Know where the vulnerabilities are while there is still time and budget to fix them.
Independent planning-risk intelligence from a party with no commercial interest in the scheme proceeding. A second opinion that is not on the applicant's team.
Forensic cross-document analysis that surfaces procedural gaps, EIA inadequacies and JR exposure across large application files. Fast, structured, fully evidenced.
Every planning consultancy, developer, and local authority has internal processes for reviewing applications. V-Score is not one of them.
V-Score is an independent external audit. Every report is produced by a qualified practitioner with no commercial relationship with the applicant, their consultants, or the local planning authority. The findings are not filtered through client relationships, commercial sensitivity, or internal sign-off procedures.
When Turley reviews a scheme, they are advising their client. When V-Score reviews the same scheme, it is assessing the evidence – without any interest in the outcome.
That independence is what makes the findings credible at committee, at Stage 2, and at inquiry.
Every V-Score report is produced by a practitioner with architectural qualifications and 25 years of planning-grade evidence experience. Not generated by software alone.
V-Score has no commercial relationship with applicants, planning consultants, architects, or local authorities. The analysis is not influenced by client relationships or repeat business.
The LEB Building backtest independently identified five of six formal GLA non-compliance points before the GLA published its Stage 1 response. No false positives. Independently verifiable from the public record.
A full V-Score analysis of your submission documents before committee. Identifies every attack vector while there is still time to act.
Forensic dissection of the refusal: exactly what was objected to, the minimum viable fix, resubmission strategy and appeal route analysis.
