Planning Approvals Accelerator™ | Faster Permits by Lybrae
The Planning Approvals Accelerator is a practical, operational engine designed to bring predictability to the approvals journey. By fixing issues pre-submission and synchronising agency review, we reduce administrative friction and shorten timelines. The output is not just a permit—it is a defensible, auditable project file that lenders, insurers and authorities trust.
We convert uncertainty into a timeline. Pre-submission audits, complete packs, and agency coordination that cut delays and carrying costs.
Time kills projects. Speed saves capital.

Where Our Expertise Delivers Value
Approvals often fail due to avoidable errors, fragmented reviews and lack of accountability. This creates time and cost over-runs for projects and erodes investor confidence.
Approvals should accelerate — not obstruct.
Approvals are the operational fulcrum of development. When the approvals journey is predictable, projects advance; when it is opaque, capital stalls and costs escalate. The Planning Approvals Accelerator™ reframes permitting from a passive transaction into an engineered delivery activity. Our premise is simple: most delays are preventable. By fixing quality, alignment and coordination before submission, and by managing agency engagement as a project stream, approvals become a controlled timeline rather than a lottery.
The Accelerator blends three capabilities: rigorous regulatory engineering, proactive package production, and multi-agency orchestration. Regulatory engineering maps the legal and policy hooks for a scheme — PLUPA consistency, environmental thresholds, utility obligations, sectional-title pathways — and creates a bespoke approval route. Package production applies the discipline of manufacturing to documentation: checklists, pre-flight audits, validated drawings, and formatted submissions that meet agency expectations. Multi-agency orchestration treats approvals as a program: scheduled joint reviews, resolution logs, escalation pathways, and a live approvals dashboard.
This is not merely administrative support. The Accelerator produces an auditable project file that lenders and insurers can trust: a complete submission, documented responses, and tracked conditionalities. It minimizes iterative redesign by ensuring “right-first-time” submissions and reduces carrying costs by compressing review windows. Our approach also builds institutional advantage for counties: the same standards and templates can raise the quality of all incoming applications and improve throughput long term.
Implementation is pragmatic and iterative. We begin with a Readiness Check (rapid risk scan and fix-list), proceed to a Submission Sprint (pack production and coordinated filing), and, where needed, carry through to Permit Close (conditions management and SOP handover). Clients may purchase the Accelerator as a one-off sprint or embed it under a retainer for portfolio-level throughput management.
For developers, the math is straightforward: reduced approval timelines cut financing costs, speed to market increases IRR, and predictability lowers risk premiums. For counties, the benefits are cleaner files, shorter processing queues, and improved compliance. For financiers and insurers, Accelerator-managed projects present fewer unknowns.
The Accelerator’s promise is not to control sovereign timelines but to control all the variables that the client can control — quality, alignment, and coordination — and thereby reshape the approvals path from a source of risk into a source of competitive advantage.
