AI can produce a planning statement in seconds.
It can also produce a confident explanation of a policy that does not exist, overlook the point that decides the application and then leave somebody else to take responsibility for it.
I have nothing against AI. Used properly, it can help with research, structure and administration.
But planning advice is not valuable because somebody can arrange plausible words on a page. It is valuable because a qualified professional has considered the site, tested the evidence, exercised judgement and is prepared to stand behind that advice.
The useful question is not, “Can AI write this?”
It is, “Who has checked it—and who carries the professional liability?”
At RCA Regeneration, technology supports professional judgement. It does not replace it.
