ObjectNow is a campaign-specific public participation platform. For a supported proposal, ObjectNow prepares a structured evidence base and campaign material in advance. A user then chooses the issues that matter to them, can provide relevant personal or local information, reviews the resulting representation, edits it if they wish, and decides whether to submit it.

The platform is intended to help people participate in planning and infrastructure consultations. It does not make the decision to object for the user and it does not replace the user’s responsibility to check that their final representation accurately reflects their own views.

No. The platform is designed around user choice. Campaign material is prepared in advance, but the individual chooses whether to participate and which available concerns they want to raise. Where the platform allows personal information or additional comments, the user decides what to provide.

Before submission, the representation should be reviewed by the user. Sections can be removed or edited where the campaign configuration permits. The final decision to submit remains with the individual.

No. ObjectNow’s current model is human-led and campaign-specific. The underlying planning issues, evidence and foundation material are prepared and reviewed as part of the campaign setup. Technology may assist with phrasing, grammar, document handling or producing variations from that approved material, but it is not intended to invent new planning facts or independently decide the grounds of objection.

The user remains responsible for reviewing the final text and ensuring it represents their views before submission.

A Foundation Objection is ObjectNow’s campaign-level evidence and argument base. It is prepared from the application material, relevant planning policy, consultation information and campaign-supplied local evidence. It identifies the principal planning issues that may be relevant to the proposal.

The public-facing platform then uses approved campaign material derived from that work so that individuals can select relevant issues and prepare their own representation. A Foundation Objection is not a substitute for reading the application documents or for professional legal, planning or technical advice where that is required.

No. Select only the issues that genuinely concern you and are relevant to the proposal. A shorter representation focused on issues that matter to you can be more useful than selecting every available section without considering whether it applies.

Planning decisions are based on relevant evidence, policy and material considerations, not simply on the number of headings included in a representation.
