The difference between a site and a liability is usually a paragraph.OTTO answers from the district's own development plan and the national policy that tilts it, with every designation that binds the site made explicit. Every passage is quoted and dated.
England's constraints, weighed.
The national layer, drawn from the planning register: Green Belt, National Parks, National Landscapes. Then each district's own layer: conservation areas, listed buildings, Article 4 directions, allocations. All of it in every answer.

The designations that decide viability, tracked against the register.
03
The weight, stated
In force beats emerging. Every answer carries the status an argument will actually bear.
04
The evidence, quoted
Verbatim passages with references, each checked against the passage it cites and dated.
The engine is live. The developer workflow follows demand.
Site appraisal workflows and portfolio-wide policy watch are next in line, with API access behind them. Tell us where you work and those districts move up the queue.
