The event
Permission granted. Client wants to start. Condition 2 is still open.
C2 open
For appointed agents and architects
Close the conditions. Then start.
After grant, pre-commencement conditions still have to close before works can begin. Lawlatch is the case file for that: numbered rows, evidence on each condition, clocks you can see, and a pack as PDF, zip, and CSV.
£29.99 / practice / month
The clocks
Eight weeks. Sixteen if EIA. Fee-return. Implement-by — dated, with a mail as they close in.

Why it exists
Grant is the start of the file.
A permission can be granted and still not be ready for a start. Lawlatch holds the conditions, the evidence, and the clocks so the practice can see — in one place — when the start is lawful.
Pre-start conditions, numbered
Formal discharge rows sit beside compliance-only wording. You see which conditions have to close before works, and which do not.
Evidence on the condition
Files and dates live on the numbered row they belong to — ready for the pack, instead of scattered across email and a shared drive.
Discharges on this permission
When a related application lands on the register, it appears on the case. You map it to the condition numbers you already hold.
Clocks on the case
Eight weeks on a discharge, sixteen if it is EIA, the fee-return date, and implement-by — held with the permission, not in a separate calendar.
How it works
From the notice to a pack you can submit.
These screens use live permissions from the English planning register. Claim a grant you are appointed on, number the conditions, then generate the pack.
01 — Claim
The permission becomes a case.
Council and granted reference. You confirm the practice is appointed. The live case sits on Cases with lawful-to-start, packs, and the implement-by date — not in a spreadsheet.
- Unique to this practice and that application
- Granted status, address, and the authority on one card
- Open it when the client asks if they can start

Why practices use it
So the start is lawful, and the file is the proof.
- See lawful to start in one place. The answer is built from the numbered rows on the case — wording, trigger, and status together.
- Keep evidence on the condition. Each row holds its files. The pack is generated from that ledger.
- Leave with PDF, zip, and a spreadsheet. The pack is a PDF. The evidence goes in a zip. The ledger exports as CSV for Excel or a CRM you already keep.
- Stay with this permission on the register. When a discharge of this case is decided, it appears here for you to map to the right numbers.
- One price for the practice. £29.99 / practice / month. £299.90 / year (10 × monthly).
