The question it answers
“Which planning policies bear on this site, and what position can I credibly take?”
The Atticus Planning Policy Memo is a site-specific brief on the planning policies that matter for your land — national and local — with the actual policy text cited, not paraphrased. It's built on Atticus, Aegaea's planning intelligence platform, and finished by a specialist who reads it the way a case officer would.
Designed for decisions
Who it’s for
Architects & designers
Design against the actual local plan wording rather than discovering it at validation.
Landowners
A realistic, cited view of a site's planning prospects before spending on the full team.

Practical detail
Questions, answered
What is Atticus?
Aegaea's planning intelligence platform — a corpus of national and local planning policy and constraint data, queryable by site. The memo is Atticus's answer for your parcel, reviewed and finished by a specialist.
Are citations real?
Every policy referenced is cited by document and policy number so you — or your consultant — can verify it in seconds. No paraphrased policy without a source.
Which councils do you cover?
England and Wales. Local plan coverage is checked at order; if your authority's plan isn't in the corpus yet we source it before writing the memo.
