Could you build this?

Partial The user-facing portal and intake questionnaire are easy to build, but automating UK planning feasibility and generating accurate scale drawings requires complex planning law rule sets and GIS data.

What it would actually take: A production version requires a GIS backend (PostGIS) layered with UK Ordnance Survey maps, conservation boundaries, flood maps, and local authority planning policies. The core challenge is codifying UK Permitted Development Rights and local zoning constraints into an automated evaluation engine alongside a CAD/BIM drawing generator. This demands specialized knowledge of UK urban planning regulations and computational geometry.
