pm-simulators
Simulate defending your planning application before the committee that decides it — the neighbour objections read into the record, the character-of-the-area catch-all, the parking pile-on, the councillor with a pet issue — run against your actual scheme, inside a three-minute speaking slot. Use when asked to prepare for a planning committee, my application goes to committee, rehearse my three minutes, or how do I answer the objectors. Produces the hearing transcript with member reactions, the objection-by-objection answer map grounded in material considerations, and the three-minute statement rebuilt. Pairs with planning-application-statement. Not planning or legal advice.
What to give it
▸ The scheme — what is proposed, and the officer recommendation (approve or refuse changes the entire game)
▸ The objections — what neighbours and consultees actually wrote, verbatim where possible; the simulation reads them into the record
▸ The sore points — overlooking, parking, scale, precedent, trees, the boundary dispute nobody mentions officially
▸ Who speaks — you, your agent, or both; and whether a supportive neighbour or member has been arranged
▸ The local flavour, if known — a committee that hates three-storey anything, a ward councillor campaigning on overdevelopment
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓ Every objection is classified material or non-material, with the classification defensible
✓ The three-minute draft actually reads aloud inside three minutes
✓ The sideways-question beat shows the deferral risk of amending live
✓ Member reactions track votes, not debate points
✓ The debrief distinguishes losing the argument from losing the room
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not coach contempt for objectors — members are their neighbours' representatives, and dismissiveness reads as exactly the developer they fear
Do not spend the three minutes describing the scheme — the vote turns on harms, and the officers already presented the proposal
Do not invent policy citations — anchor to the officer report the members are holding
Do not let the pet-issue councillor be defeated — redirected, never humiliated
Do not stay in character in the debrief
