For specialist consultants
Condition alerts, when there's enough of them
We read decision notices and pull out the conditions that need a specialist: a travel plan, a bat survey, a drainage scheme. It works, but we're still widening how many councils we reach every night, and we'd rather not sell you alerts for a discipline that's quiet. Tell us yours and we'll let you know when it isn't.
