V-Score identifies every vulnerability a hostile planning officer would find in your application — before the decision is made. Pre-submission audit. Post-refusal forensics.
Most planning tools tell you what is in the documents. V-Score reads across the entire submission to find what is missing, what is inconsistent, and what a hostile officer would use to refuse.
Every report identifies specific attack vectors — the exact policy grounds an officer would cite — ranked by severity, with the verbatim language they would use and a precise remediation programme.
The output is a scored, structured forensic report. Every finding is grounded in a specific document reference. Every score is explainable. Every recommended fix names who does it, when, and what it costs.
A pre-acquisition or pre-submission audit that quantifies planning risk before design spend is committed. Know where the vulnerabilities are while there is still time to fix them.
Independent planning risk intelligence that is not produced by the applicant's own team. A second opinion with no commercial interest in the outcome.
Forensic cross-document analysis that surfaces procedural gaps, EIA inadequacies, and JR exposure across large application files. Fast, structured, evidenced.
Every V-Score comes with a documented calculation: the penalties applied, the credits awarded, the correlation adjustments made, and the specific reasons the score is not five points higher or lower. When a planning partner or funder asks why the scheme scores 46, the answer is already in the report.
| Band | Score range | Meaning | Recommended decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green | 70–100 | Likely approved with standard conditions | Proceed |
| Amber | 50–69 | Material risks requiring changes before approval | Proceed with conditions |
| Orange | 40–49 | Multiple policy failures; at least one critical risk | Defer for redesign |
| Red | 20–39 | Significant probability of refusal without major redesign | Major redesign required |
| Black | 0–19 | Refusal probable on current evidence | Withdraw or fundamental change |
A full V-Score analysis of your submission documents before they go to committee. Identifies every attack vector a hostile officer would use — while there is still time to fix them.
A forensic dissection of the refusal: exactly what the officer objected to, the minimum viable fix, the resubmission strategy, and the appeal route analysis.
