2 Missing information 3 items

We need these before the pack can be finalised. They are the reason this example is marked human review required.

  • Missing
    Boundary distance

    Exact distance from the proposed extension to the side and rear boundaries has not been provided.

  • Missing
    Proposed rear elevation

    A basic planning drawing of the proposed rear elevation is needed to complete the pack.

  • Missing
    Drainage note

    Confirmation of how surface water and foul drainage will be handled is missing.

3 Main planning risks

  • Extension depth close to the boundary may affect a neighbour's light or outlook, so it needs checking against the council's guidance.
  • Without a drainage note, the application could be returned with a validation query.
  • Only one local comparable was found, so the outcome estimate is uncertain and low-confidence.

4 Highest-impact fixes

Do these first — they move the planning-readiness score the most.

  1. Provide exact boundary distances and confirm the extension stays within the council's accepted depth and height for a householder application.
  2. Add the proposed rear elevation to the basic planning drawings.
  3. Add a short drainage note describing where surface water and foul water will go.

👤 Human review required

A member of our team reviews every pack before it's sent to you. This example is marked human review required because key measurements are missing and only one local comparable was found — too small a sample for a confident estimate. ELI helps prepare the pack under human review; it is an early-stage, AGI-directed prototype and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

Important — what this is and isn't

  • This is an illustrative example of an ELI Planning pack. Figures are based on the limited information provided and a small number of local comparables.
  • The Planning-readiness score and Comparable local outcome estimate are planning-preparation aids. They are not a guarantee of any planning decision — your local planning authority makes the final decision.
  • Any drawings we prepare are basic planning drawings to accompany a householder planning application. They are not detailed technical or engineering drawings.
  • This pack is a preparation service and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional such as a planning consultant, architect or solicitor.
