Write a one-page letter and a questions and answers sheet for neighbours and the local council before you apply

The problem

The planners quoted say early engagement with neighbours and the community can help reduce opposition, and the advice is to explain what you are trying to achieve. Writing it is awkward because you are explaining a business to people who live next door. AI can turn your own facts into a clear one-page letter and a questions and answers sheet covering the questions neighbours usually ask. It must not promise that there will be no noise, traffic or harm, and it does not run the council's own consultation: your planning agent or the council tells you what is formally required.

What AI does

AI turns your facts about the proposal into a clear one-page letter for the people living nearby, plus a Q&A sheet. It makes no promises about noise, traffic or other effects, and your planning adviser or council tells you what is formally required.

Time

The steps, in short

1. Check with your planning adviser or council what has to happen first, and when.
2. Write down the plain facts of the proposal.
3. List the questions neighbours may ask and your answer to each.
4. Have AI draft the letter and sheet, then remove any promise you can't keep.
