Unlimited access to planning appeal intelligence

Needles is a planning appeals database covering thousands of decisions from the Planning Inspectorate, searchable by LPA, inspector, procedure, and outcome.

A subscription gives you unlimited case views and full access to search, LPA dashboards, inspector profiles, and AI summaries where available.

For a one-off fee of just £99 you can upload details of a planning refusal and generate a comprehensive report setting out how you might approach an appeal, including the most appropriate procedure, the likelihood of success, how you might approach each reason given for refusal, and which inspector might be assigned to your case.
