Improve your planning appeal success rate

Whether you are writing an appeal Statement of Case or seeking to future-proof a planning application, we can help you improve your prospects of success in a planning appeal by making it easy to find out how planning inspectors have dealt with similar appeals.

For expert hints and tips on improving both planning appeals and planning applications, see our article on becoming a better planner and our blog page.

Planning Inspectorate Appeals Search

If you are frustrated by the Planning Inspectorate's appeals casework portal, which no longer even allows you do a case search by description of development or by a wide date range, then Appeal Finder is for you. We have a comprehensive planning appeals decisions database that includes all PINS appeal decisions, including Secretary of State decisions and Appeal Costs Decisions. Unlike the competition, Appeal Finder's unique software doesn’t search abstracts of selected appeals but instead searches every planning appeal Decision Notice, giving you total freedom to define your own keywords.

Uniquely, Appeal Finder provides a map view which enables you to locate appeals geographically and to spot appeals you didn’t know existed.
