How The Planning Review works
Search specialists, compare real planning track records and get free quotes. Here is what happens at every step, whether you are planning a project or growing a consultancy.
For people planning a project
- Search the directory: Browse more than 20 specialist disciplines, from ecologists and arborists to flood risk, heritage and transport consultants, and filter by the location of your site.
- Compare real track records: Every profile is built from real planning applications. You can see the projects a firm has actually been named on, the councils they have worked with and the accreditations they hold.
- Request free quotes: Tell us about your project once and we will share it with verified specialists whose experience matches. You can also contact a specialist directly from their profile.
- Choose with confidence: Matching specialists come back to you directly with quotes. Compare them side by side and appoint the best fit. It is free and there is no obligation to proceed.
What happens after you request quotes
- Your request is shared with verified specialists whose discipline, experience and coverage match your project.
- Specialists contact you directly, usually by email or phone, with their quotes and any follow-up questions.
- You compare quotes and choose who to appoint. Requesting quotes is free and there is no obligation to proceed.
Built on real planning data
Specialist profiles are built from the public planning record and cross-referenced with Companies House, not self-written adverts. Read where our data comes from.
For specialists and consultancies
- Claim your profile: Your firm may already be listed, because we build profiles from the public planning record. Find your company and claim it, or register a new profile if you are not listed yet.
- Get verified: We check claims against trusted signals: a company email domain that matches your website or planning history, plus a Companies House check for registered companies. Sole traders are welcome too. Anything we cannot verify automatically is reviewed by our team.
- Win more work: Verified profiles rank higher in search, show your contact details and showcase projects, and receive quote requests from matching projects in your coverage area.
