Method

How PlanningBrief finds this early

PlanningBrief classifies official descriptions, dates, stages, value bands and useful-for tags, then keeps the official source link close to the lead.

1Classify

Descriptions, dates, project classes, counties and useful-for tags are normalised into searchable leads.

2Link

Official planning, appeal, tender and authority context stays near the PlanningBrief record where available.

3Route

The same query can move from guide context into Project Leads, Map review, alerts or weekly digest monitoring.

Assessment

Decision checklist

Use stage, source, project type, value, applicant and location before deciding whether to save, watch or export a lead.

  • StageIs the record early, decision-stage, appealed, tendered or moving toward commencement?
  • SourceIs there an official file link or enough authority context to verify the cue?
  • FitDoes the county, project class, value band or useful-for tag match the team you sell to?
  • Next actionOpen the official file, save the lead, create an alert or move on.
