Common questions
What document types do you need?
The Planning Statement, Design and Access Statement, and any GLA Stage 1 letter or officer report are the priority. For FVA forensics we need the Financial Viability Assessment. We will tell you specifically what is needed after reviewing the application reference.
Does the application need to be live?
No. We can work from submission-ready documents before they are submitted, from a live pending application, or from a refused application. The pre-submission audit is most effective with at least draft-stage documents.
What scheme types do you cover?
All UK planning application types: residential, PBSA, mixed-use, commercial, EIA major, rural, industrial, and infrastructure. The five-dimension framework applies across all types.
Is this confidential?
Yes. V-Score reports are produced under confidentiality. We do not disclose client details or application specifics to any third party. Reports are marked confidential planning intelligence.
How is payment handled?
We invoice on agreement of scope, before analysis begins. Payment is due within 14 days of invoice. No analysis is delivered before invoice is settled.
