Per application, all in
Most applications stall at validation
A drawing at the wrong scale, a missing north point, a fee miscalculated, a 1APP form typed by hand from a half-finished set of plans. The council can't validate it, the clock never starts, and weeks disappear.
Planning Assist UK reads your drawings, checks them against your council's list and builds the application for you.
Portal charges £149 per application
Just to submit a form you already filled in
Consultants charge £300+ just to fill the form
