How it works

Ask. Investigate. Evidence. Decide.

One conversation, anchored to one development, from first question to final decision.

The site, read in its context
  1. Step 01
    Give Rasmere a site

    An address or postcode, and the development you are considering.

  2. Step 02
    Rasmere builds the project

    Planning history for the site, decisions around it, the policies that apply and comparable schemes.

  3. Step 03
    Add your own information

    Plans, planning statements, consultant reports, previous applications and council correspondence.

  4. Step 04
    Ask a question

    “Could we build 20 apartments here?” “Why was the previous application refused?”

  5. Step 05
    Rasmere investigates

    It reads the relevant record rather than returning everything that matches a keyword.

  6. Step 06
    See the evidence

    Every conclusion carries the decisions, policies and documents behind it, linked to source.

  7. Step 07
    Explore the options

    Fewer units, lower height, a different mix. Ask again and the context carries over.

  8. Step 08
    Compare the cases

    Which option has the strongest planning case on the evidence available today.

  9. Step 09
    Make the decision

    Rasmere does not decide for you. It gives you better intelligence to decide with.

Where Rasmere sits

Earliest in the lifecycle, where the decisions are still cheap to change.

Before acquisition. Understand what the site can support before capital is committed.
During design. Test units, height and mix against what has actually been approved.
Before submission. Know which arguments the evidence will support.
