Ex-Planning Officer Reveals How to Unlock Hidden 6-Figures From Small "Problem" Sites
Ever wondered why some people seem to get planning permission for every 'awkward' site they come across while others get rejected time and time again?
I'm about to share the insider knowledge I discovered while working as a planning officer.
The same methods successful developers use to get approvals for those small and awkward sites that hold so much potential value... but with a behind-the-scenes twist that lets you spot winning small sites before anyone else.
Look, getting planning permission is a nightmare. You submit applications hoping for the best, wait months for a response, only to get rejected for reasons that make absolutely no sense.
Without insider knowledge, you're basically throwing darts blindfolded while hopping on one foot.
Here's the thing - I used to be a lost planning consultant scratching my head at the system.
Then I did something crazy... I jumped the fence and became a planning officer.
I'm Ian Gracie, and for years I've been the guy actually GIVING OUT planning permissions.
I've seen hundreds of applications from both sides of the desk.
And let me tell you - the difference between success and failure isn't what you think.
You see, most people are playing a guessing game on small sites with their life savings on the line. They're buying sites HOPING they can get permission, instead of KNOWING they can.
But here's what makes this different... I've distilled everything I learned as a planning officer into a 30-day email course that shows you exactly how to spot winning small sites that planning officers grant planning permission on every day of the week. No fluff, no theory - just practical insider knowledge that works.
The best part? You don't need
An expensive planning degree
Years of industry experience
A fat wallet for consultants
A crystal ball to read planning officers' minds
Inside Planning for Small Sites, you'll discover
Why that "perfect" corner plot might be worthless (and how to spot the golden ones)
The exact process we use to determine if a site is worth pursuing
The "officer mindset decoder" that helps you predict decisions before submission
Why traditional site assessments fail (and my unconventional approach that finds hidden gems)
My exact method for maximising development potential from seemingly "worthless" plots
Listen - I've packed 13 years of planning knowledge into 30 daily emails that will transform how you look at sites forever.
Don't spend years learning this the hard way like I did. Don't waste thousands on sites that will never get permission. Don't keep playing the planning lottery.
For just £197 (less than a single planning application fee), you get:
30 Daily Planning Master Classes (£997 value)
Backland Site Opportunity Blueprint (£397 value)
Corner Plot Maximisation Strategy (£297 value)
Garage Site Conversion System (£397 value)
Garden Plot Development Masterclass (£497 value)
Total value: £2,188
Your investment: Only £197
But I need to warn you... This isn't some magic wand.
The planning system is still complex. But with these insider secrets, you'll stop wasting time on dead-end sites and start spotting the winners others miss.
My Money-Back Guarantee:
If this course doesn't help you find at least 100x of what you paid, in development value, just ask any time within the next 30 days to get a 100% no questions asked refund.

Here's some testimonials in case you're wondering…
“My only regret is not finding him sooner on my journey. If I think back to the start, having someone like Ian to learn from would have been so incredible and would have shaved literal months off the learning curve”
- Scott McQuade
“Ian teaches a proven methodology to use the planning system to identify development opportunities and maximise profits on any given site. Given the complex nature of the national planning framework and local development plans, Ian’s approach demystifies the complex regulations. The case studies in the lectures demonstrate how to identify the most important planning regulations to your particular development.”
- Chris Secc
“I joined the group run by Ian and soon discovered the wealth of experience he has concerning all matters to do with planning. Ian’s knowledge acquired over many years of professional experience was self-evident.”
- Arshad Kamal
“Thanks again for including me in the planning deep dive, I did find it really valuable. I am particularly interested in PD, but this has opened my eyes to the potential of other planning gain opportunities that fall outside of PD.”
- Leanne Davidson
A Tale of Two Developers
Dear Friend,
On a crisp autumn morning, fifteen years ago, two ambitious developers stood at the edge of a small, overlooked plot of land. They were much alike, these two. Both had modest savings, both dreamed of turning "problem" sites into profitable projects, and both were hungry to crack the planning system’s code.
Fast forward to today. They met again, standing on opposite sides of the same game. One still scratches out a living, chasing dead-end sites, submitting applications that get rejected, and wondering where it all went wrong. The other? He’s built a six-figure empire—flipping small, awkward plots others wouldn’t touch into goldmines. Same market. Same opportunities. Same starting line.
So what made the difference?
It’s not luck. It’s not deeper pockets or fancier connections. It’s not even raw talent. The difference lies in what each one knows—and how they use that knowledge to spot winners while others waste time on losers.
That’s why I’m writing to you about Planning for Small Sites. This isn’t just another course. It’s 13 years of insider planning knowledge—straight from my time as a planning officer—distilled into 30 daily lessons that hand you the keys to unlock hidden value in small sites. Knowledge you won’t find in books. Knowledge that turns "no hope" plots into approvals. Knowledge that pays.
A Resource Unlike Any Other
Think of Planning for Small Sites as your secret weapon. It’s not some bloated textbook or vague seminar. It’s a daily dose of practical, behind-the-scenes insight—delivered by someone who’s sat on both sides of the planning desk. Every email cuts through the noise, showing you how to think like a planning officer, spot opportunities others miss, and turn small sites into big wins.
Just imagine flipping through today’s lesson: a step-by-step breakdown of why that corner plot everyone ignored is a hidden gem—or why that "perfect" garden site is a money pit. You’ll get my exact process for decoding officer mindsets, maximising development potential, and predicting approvals before you even submit. No guesswork. No fluff. Just results.
Knowledge That Pays Off
Right now, developers across the country are gambling their savings on sites they hope will get approved. You don’t have to. With Planning for Small Sites, you’ll know—really know—which plots are worth your time. And at just £197, it’s less than the cost of a single failed application. Compare that to its £2,188 value: 30 masterclasses, blueprints for backland sites, corner plots, garages, gardens—you name it.
Here’s the deal: sign up by Sunday, March 2nd, 11:59 PM, and you’ll start Monday morning with the first email. Wait, and I can’t say when this will come around again.
Plus, my guarantee’s ironclad—if you don’t uncover at least 100x your investment in development value within 30 days, email me for a full refund. No questions. No hassle.
A Small Investment, A Massive Edge
Those two developers I mentioned? They started in the same place you might be now—eager but uncertain. What set one apart was knowledge—useful, actionable knowledge—and the guts to apply it. I can’t promise you overnight millions. But I can promise Planning for Small Sites will be eye-opening, reliable, and—most importantly—profitable.
Click below to join now. The clock’s ticking. Let’s turn those "problem" sites into your next big win.
Sincerely,
Ian Gracie
