Your Planning Voice
A constitutional AI platform that generates legally grounded governance protocols, optimal legal structure recommendations, and statutory planning objection letters for community-led organisations across the United Kingdom.
Your Planning Voice is a diagnostic and drafting aid. Every output must be reviewed by a qualified planning solicitor before submission. The system does not replace professional legal judgment.
System Architecture
Your Planning Voice processes community input through five sequential stages, each building on the last. The "golden thread" — your community's place story, tensions, and vision — runs through every stage, ensuring consistency from initial narrative to final objection letter.
The Four Pillars
All knowledge retrieval is ring-fenced to the target Local Planning Authority. The system loads the borough's local plan policies, absolute veto policies, tilted balance status, and case precedents.
loadBoroughNamespace() → policies[] + absolute_policies[]15 statutory planning vetoes test every governance framework against binding legal thresholds. ABSOLUTE vetoes trigger instant extinction of the framework.
Multi-layered quality validation applied to every objection letter before release. Checks for weasel words, forbidden hallucinations, and mandatory citation gaps.
Non-blocking post-mortem phase extracts developer tactics, consultant patterns, and successful counter-arguments from every session. Findings are written to a growing knowledge base.

Your Planning Voice includes five selection pressures specifically designed for community groups that are not acquiring land. This ensures campaign groups, renters, watchdogs, service deliverers, and networks receive proportionate governance structures.
| ID | Name | Detection | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| RENT_001 | Leasehold Liability | renting, leasing | CIC Guarantee or CIO |
| CAMPAIGN_001 | Temporary Opposition | stop, save, oppose | Unincorporated Association |
| WATCHDOG_001 | Perpetual Monitoring | friends of, monitor | UA (<£5k) or CIO (≥£5k) |
| NETWORK_001 | Umbrella Coordination | coalition, alliance | CCLG + Consortium |
| SERVICE_001 | Asset-less Delivery | food bank, youth club | CIO Foundation or CIC |
UA + ObjectionCIC/CIOCCLG + MoUsCBS+CLTIf the system routes a renter group toward an unincorporated association and that group signs a commercial lease, the individual committee members assume personal liability for rent and dilapidations. RENT_001 is implemented as a hard constraintthat forces incorporation.
Project Classification
Your Planning Voice classifies every planning application into one of 10 archetypes based on units, floorspace, and development type. Constraint overlays automatically upgrade the archetype.
| Archetype | Criteria | Governance |
|---|---|---|
| HOUSEHOLDER | 1 unit, <100 sqm | Who we are only |
| MINOR_RESIDENTIAL | 1-9 units | Who we are only |
| MEDIUM_RESIDENTIAL | 10-49 units | + Mission duality |
| MAJOR_RESIDENTIAL | 50-149 units | + Governance blueprint |
| STRATEGIC | 150+ units | + Evolutionary loop |
| ENERGY | BESS, solar, wind | Full evolution + HSE |
| NSIP | Nationally significant | Full evolution + statutory |

Evolutionary Governance
Your Planning Voice creates 20 candidate governance frameworks and tests each against 16 selection pressures across up to 7 generations. Frameworks that fail critical tests are eliminated; survivors are mutated and refined.

Regulatory Compliance
The Planning Inspectorate mandates a formal declaration when AI has been used to draft or substantially rewrite text in casework evidence. Your Planning Voice includes an AI disclosure in every objection letter.
"I have independently reviewed and verified the accuracy..."The Law Society warns that AI must be treated as a "powerful, unreliable assistant that requires supervision — not a substitute for legal judgement." Your Planning Voice is designed accordingly: it is a drafting aid, not a replacement for qualified professional review.
Begin Your Community's Defense
Your Planning Voice is fully documented across seven community leader guides. All outputs must be reviewed by a qualified planning solicitor before submission.
