Conditions · for specialist consultants
A condition alert, not a lead alert
Built for ecology, landscape, drainage, arboriculture, contaminated land, transport, acoustics and other specialist consultants. When a council's decision imposes a condition matching your phrases (e.g. "bat survey", "tree protection plan", "drainage scheme") or your discipline, we email you the condition text with a link to the application.
