comment plan / application 3 · free workflow
Draft a Planning Comment Before the Window Closes — Free
Paste the application reference and close date and the plan dates each drafting step, so the comment is submitted on material grounds rather than rushed in on the last evening.
What this replaces
Planning comments are written in the last hour of the window and dismissed because they address things that are not material considerations. This dates the drafting steps back from your close date and keeps the grounds step early, so the comment is built on the right basis.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
The application reference, the consultation close date, and your likely grounds.
Let the plan count back
Each step is dated with the slack remaining.
Check your grounds are material
Loss of light and highway safety are; property value and personal dislike are not.
Submit before the close date
Late comments are not accepted, whatever the reason.

The board below runs in your browser. It opens with a worked sample so the result is visible before you paste anything; switch scenarios, edit the text, or reset to the sample.

first-load · sample values are illustrative, not verified facts
Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally. Because this topic can involve personal detail, delete names and identifiers you do not need before you paste.
What breaks, and what to do
Close date not published
Find it on the council's planning portal before using the plan.
Grounds that are not material
Nothing here checks planning law; read the council's guidance.
Extension granted
Re-run with the new date; the plan only counts from what you enter.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page organizes what you paste into dated rows. It does not give legal advice, does not predict how any authority or court will rule, and files nothing on your behalf.
Confirm every deadline and filing format with the issuing authority's current instructions, the clerk's office, or a qualified adviser before relying on it.
