Case studies

Long-form post-mortems of significant UK planning applications. How they progressed through the local planning authority, the objections raised, the officer's report, and the outcome.

Case narratives show how the procedural and technical material in our guides and technical library plays out in specific applications. Pending cases are marked as interim and updated through the decision and any appeal.

First case narrative coming soon. We publish one every four to six weeks, once it has cleared editorial review. Subscribe to the monthly digest to be notified when the first case goes live.
