# Consentvia

> Consentvia is software for the developer, planning agent or architect who runs planning applications in England and Wales: a free cost of planning application sheet that adds the authority's fee to the agent, the drawings, the surveys, the pre-application charge and the other costs and returns the cost all in, per unit and the sunk share; a free timeline sheet that takes the statutory period, the weeks since validation, any extension of time and the outstanding consultees and returns the weeks left and the point at which non-determination can be appealed, both with no account; and Consentvia Pro, which keeps the application file as the record: every application with its site, authority, type, reference, fee and cost, validation and decision dates, conditions, section 73 variations, appeal and outcome. It covers the application only. It publishes no council's register, no fee schedule it did not read on the day, no consultant listing, no land data and no legal opinion.

## What this is for

- The small developer, planning agent or architect in England and Wales who prepares and tracks planning applications, with a handful of schemes in hand, a fee to justify to a client, a clock to chase and a file to keep,Not a homeowner with a permitted-development question, not a neighbour reading a council's register, not someone hiring a consultant, not a landowner sourcing sites, and not anyone looking for a legal opinion or a prediction of what an authority will decide

## Tools

- [Cost of planning application sheet](https://consentvia.com/tools/cost-of-planning-application-sheet/): Put in the authority's fee, the agent, the drawings, the surveys, the pre-app charge and the other costs against the units proposed, and see the cost all in, the professional share, the cost per unit and what is sunk if the application is refused.
- [How long does a planning application take: timeline sheet](https://consentvia.com/tools/planning-application-timeline-sheet/): Put in the statutory period for the application type, the weeks since validation, any extension of time agreed, the consultees still outstanding and the weeks to committee, and see the weeks left, the share of the period used, the earliest decision week and the point at which non-determination can be appealed.

## Guides

- [Planning application process](https://consentvia.com/planning-application-process/): the guides explain what a section 73, outline, retrospective or change of use application is, what the use classes mean, what an application costs and how long it takes, and how a refusal is appealed, never what a particular authority will decide
