Welcome to Planning Profits — the community for small-scale developers, investors, and homeowners who want to unlock hidden value through planning.
Most people waste months and thousands on consultants, architects, and red tape — only to face refusals, delays, or unbuildable schemes. Here, we cut through that.
I’m Ian Gracie, a former UK planning officer who’s assessed of planning applications. Now I share the same insider lens so you can:
🔴 Spot risks, red flags, and hidden opportunities fast.
🤖 Use proven frameworks and AI tools to shortcut research.
🏚️ Maximise uplift on sites others walk past.
🧩 Confidently navigate permitted development, appeals, and full planning.
Inside you’ll find step-by-step training, case studies, report templates, and my SAM (Site Assessment Mentor) stack — plus a supportive community where you can share sites, ask questions, and get clarity.
If you want speed, certainty, and confidence in the planning system, you’re in the right place.
