Turn your own survey recommendation text into a one-page summary for a planning officer or agent, without changing what it says
The problem
A planning officer or agent may prefer the recommendation on one page, in plain words, rather than a full report. One practitioner advises giving clients short answers rather than a lecture. AI can reformat your own recommendation wording into short headings and plain English. It must not change any recommendation, add a survey, choose a date or soften a limit: the recommendation is the ecologist’s, and the one-page summary is checked against the report by a named professional.
What AI does
AI reformats the recommendations from your finished report into a one-page, plain-English summary, without changing what they say. The named ecologist checks it line by line against the report, which stays the full position (UK).
Time
The steps, in short
- Copy the recommendations from the finished report, replacing names and locations with placeholders.
- Number each recommendation and keep dates exactly as written.
- Have AI reformat them as a single page in everyday language.
- Compare it line by line with the report, restore any lost caveat, and attach the full report when you send it.
