ABOUT OBJECTNOW

Making Objecting Smarter

ObjectNow was created in early 2024 after its approach proved effective during the Hands Off Our Hills campaign opposing the Blair Hill and Glenvernoch Wind Farm proposals near Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway.

That experience showed how much stronger public engagement becomes when communities are given clear, practical tools to take part in complex planning decisions.

We are the first AI community focused platform developed specifically to support planning objections. Volunteer led and independent, ObjectNow is designed to help people respond to large scale energy and infrastructure proposals that are often technical, time consuming, and difficult to challenge without support.

Our role is to simplify the process while ensuring objections remain accurate, responsible, and rooted in real local concerns.

ObjectNow is recognised as an accepted means of submitting formal objections to planning authorities, supported by independent acknowledgement.

This ensures submissions made through the platform are properly structured, formally recorded, and considered within the planning process.

  • Ensuring local voices are clearly recorded and formally submitted
  • Wind farms, solar parks, substations, pylons and grid reinforcements
  • Policy based, environmental and legal planning objections
  • AI assisted drafting with full human control and editing

The platform is used for nationally significant applications, including Scottish Section 36 and Section 37 developments, UK Development Consent Orders, and Welsh infrastructure consent processes.

It supports objections relating to wind farms, solar parks, battery energy storage systems, substations, pylons, and grid reinforcements, with content grounded in planning policy, environmental impacts, and legal considerations.

By combining intelligent drafting tools with full human control, ObjectNow removes unnecessary barriers to participation. It allows individuals and communities to engage confidently with planning systems and ensures local voices are clearly expressed, properly submitted, and taken seriously.

OUR STRENGHS

The Power Of ObjectNow

Our platform blends intelligent automation with human oversight to support the drafting of clear, accurate, and well structured planning objections.

AI is used to assist the process, never to operate on its own or replace human judgement. Every submission is grounded in real local concerns, with users retaining full control to review, edit, and personalise each section before it is submitted.

Each objection generated through ObjectNow is submitted as an individual and personal representation. Planning authorities receive and record these as unique objections, rather than as template letters.

This ensures that specific issues, policy conflicts, and regulatory breaches are properly identified and logged, giving submissions greater weight and formal recognition within the planning process.

Fair Pricing For Everyone

Don't let funding
stop you fighting

ObjectNow works closely with campaigners and community groups to ensure our pricing is fair, flexible, and proportionate to available funding.

We recognise that many campaigns operate with limited resources, so we tailor our approach to each group’s circumstances and, where appropriate, are able to offer reduced cost support or pro bono assistance to ensure important local voices are not excluded from the planning process due to financial constraints.

ObjectNow delivered a tailored objection system for the Beauly BESS development, making it far easier for our community to submit objections. Their customised approach significantly increased engagement, helped ensure more local voices were heard, and provided a seamless and effective solution designed specifically around the needs of the campaign.

You allow people (Including me...primarily me!) to air/formulate a coherent, clear "objection" in a system and format that most of us would find Incredibly difficult and Intimidating to negotiate and put into words. Gives us mere mortals "a say"...and that's really appreciated.

Nothing but praise. Communities have been sidelined and ignored by the Scottish Government and developers for years. Having Object Now to help us tackle the inequality gives me some hope.
