What you gain
Start on site sooner
Hours of reading done for you
Every condition in the decision notice turned into a plain-English register, usually within a day, instead of your team working through it one condition at a time.
Start on site sooner
The conditions that block a start are picked out first, so the right specialists are briefed early and the build is not held up waiting for approvals.
Fewer surprises late on
Each condition is listed with when it is due and the documents it needs, so nothing is left to be found at the last minute.
A fixed £400 per permission
Your planner checks a finished register instead of building one from scratch, at a price you know before you start.
Planning conditions hold up the start on site
- !Every condition has to be understood, and evidence sent to the council for approval, often before work can start.
- !Finding and briefing the right specialists is slow.
- !It is all done by hand, and it delays the start on site.
Condition Desk does that groundwork for you, usually within a day, so your team can get on with the parts only they can do.

Read
Every condition is put into plain English: what the council needs, when it is due, which specialist usually prepares it and which documents to gather.
Start
You get the register with the conditions that block a start picked out, plus a drafted covering letter for each council submission. You or your planner send each submission to the council.

Questions
How fast do I get the register?
Usually within a day of sending us the decision notice.
What does it cost?
£400 per permission, or £1,000 a month for up to five live sites. The register covers every condition on the permission, picks out the conditions that block a start on site, and comes with a drafted covering letter to the council for each submission. You or your planner send the submissions to the council.
Can I see an example first?
Yes. This page shows the real register we produced for a 150-home outline permission in Albrighton, Shropshire, with all 38 conditions, and you can download the full report.
Can you handle large permissions?
Yes. We have worked on real permissions, including 38 conditions on a 150-home outline permission in Albrighton, Shropshire and 46 on a 586-home scheme in New Malden.
Does this replace my planning consultant?
No. We prepare the register and draft the covering letters. We do not give planning advice and we do not submit anything to the council. You or your planner remain responsible for submissions.
Who checks the work?
Your own team or planner. Every entry in the register sets out the condition as written in the decision notice, so each point can be checked against the original.
