How Arcuate's Jurisdiction Filtering Speeds Up Research

In architecture and planning, precision isn’t optional—it’s essential. Navigating the labyrinth of national frameworks and local planning regulations can be time-consuming and complex, often requiring professionals to cross-reference countless documents to ensure compliance. That’s why Arcuate’s Jurisdiction Filtering feature is a game-changer.

What looks like a simple dropdown menu is, in reality, a powerful tool that transforms how you interact with planning regulations. With a few clicks, Arcuate filters its comprehensive library of national and local planning policies to deliver insights tailored specifically to your project’s jurisdiction—whether that’s at a national level or down to a specific local planning authority.

From Overwhelming to Targeted: Why Jurisdiction Filtering Matters

Traditionally, planning professionals have had to wade through national guidelines while manually checking how they align (or conflict) with local authority rules. Arcuate changes that by allowing you to:

• Select Your Country: Instantly narrow your research to national regulations relevant to England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.

• Choose Your Local Planning Authority: Refine your focus further to include specific council policies, ensuring that every answer is grounded in the exact context of your project.

Why it matters: This feature eliminates irrelevant information, ensuring that every piece of guidance you receive is both accurate and directly applicable to your project’s location.

A Bespoke Research Assistant for Every Project

With Jurisdiction Filtering, Arcuate isn’t just pulling from a generic pool of information—it’s acting as a bespoke research assistant, tailored to the specific needs of each project. Whether you're working on a rural development in Wales or an urban regeneration project in London, the system adapts to deliver the most relevant regulatory guidance.

Why it matters: This level of customisation ensures that your research is efficient, precise, and directly aligned with the jurisdictional requirements you need to meet, saving you hours of cross-referencing and reducing the risk of overlooking critical local policies.

The First of Its Kind: A Unified, Dynamic Regulatory Library

Arcuate’s ability to seamlessly toggle between national and local regulations isn’t just a convenience—it’s an innovation. For the first time, planning professionals can access a unified, dynamically filtered regulatory library that adapts to the needs of each project.

Why it matters: This eliminates the fragmentation typically associated with planning research, allowing you to move confidently from one project to the next, knowing that Arcuate will always provide the most relevant, up-to-date information.

The Bottom Line

Arcuate’s Jurisdiction Filtering isn’t just a feature—it’s a revolution in how planning research is conducted. By transforming a seemingly simple dropdown into a powerful tool for targeted, accurate research, Arcuate ensures that every project you undertake is supported by precise, jurisdiction-specific insights.

The result? Faster research, more accurate compliance, and greater confidence in every planning decision.
