Stronger Reports. Defensible Decisions.

AppealShield helps local authority planning officers check draft refusal reasons against past appeals – before a decision is issued.

How it works

Just paste them in – no system integration needed.

We compare your wording against reasoning used in relevant appeals.

Instantly identify refusal reasons that have previously been overturned – and why.

✅

Reduce the likelihood of appeals being lodged – or allowed

✅

Save hours of time reviewing appeal history

✅

Learn from the most recent inspector reasoning

✅

Make decisions that are more likely to avoid or win an appeal

AppealShield is built to support development management teams making tough calls under time pressure.

It uses artificial intelligence and a huge database of appeal decisions to give fast, targeted feedback on the strength of refusal reasons.
