Has your Local Authority received a portion of the Planning Skills Delivery Fund?
The Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has now clarified Planning Skills Delivery Fund allocations.
Now is the perfect time to strategize, ensuring you optimise any funding you have been allocated to effectively relieve your backlog and validation issues.
As you may know, industry experts and trusted data technology pioneers TerraQuest1 offer two distinct, comprehensive planning services, designed specifically to assist Local Authorities with their planning application caseloads.
These include:
Planning Application Validation Service (PAVS)2
With this service, TerraQuest’s dedicated team of expert Planning Officers can help you clear your planning application backlog efficiently and to the highest possible standard.
With PAVS, applications can be validated and on a case officer’s worklist within 24-28 hours.
Planning Application Case Evaluation Service (PACES)3
TerraQuest’s team of experienced planners can help you evaluate planning application cases quickly and competently against local policy and national framework, supporting your existing resource and providing a bespoke service to suit the needs of your local area.
The team are adept at working with applicants and agents to understand and accurately evaluate applications, digging down into the detail and providing expert feedback where necessary.
There can be some uncertainty when hiring agencies or consultants to work on planning application caseloads, in terms of quality and quantity of work that will be received.
With TerraQuest’s PAVS and PACES, you can avoid being stung by underwhelming output – rather, the team will deliver a quota of work based on pre-agreed terms and payment per workload.
Both services offer a great use of your Planning Skills Delivery Fund allocation, allowing you to clear your backlog quickly, freeing up time and resource. This is also a great opportunity to evaluate how these services might fit into your longer-term strategy, helping support the delivery of planning services into the future.

Since the recipients of the Planning Skills Delivery Fund were announced, TerraQuest have seen an increased demand for PAVS and PACES services, meaning they currently have limited spaces available.
If you are interested in utilising either, or both, please get in touch as soon as possible – you can contact TerraQuest here.5
