Content page
Terms, privacy, a policy, an about page. Structural long-form with headings a reader navigates rather than reads — and the page most likely to be pasted in unstyled.
What it is made of
Almost no components, on purpose. A content page is a test of whether the foundations hold up without anything to lean on: if the heading scale, the measure and the vertical rhythm are right, this page needs a title, some headings and paragraphs, and nothing else.

The page
Terms & disclaimer
Last updated 2 August 2026GRIDD is a planning-information service. It reads published planning schemes and tells you what they say about a property. It is not legal advice and not town-planning advice.
What the service does
We codify a council's planning scheme into a machine-readable ruleset, then evaluate a property against it. The result states which approval pathway applies and which provisions produced that result.
What it does not do
It does not lodge applications, does not represent you to a council, and does not guarantee an outcome. A council assessing a real application may reach a different view on matters requiring judgement.
Accuracy and currency
Schemes change. Each council's ruleset records the scheme version and its effective date, and every report carries both. Where a constraint layer is unavailable, the report says so and states what is unaffected rather than staying silent.
Page-level rules
- Two heading levels, not four. A policy that needs an h4 is usually two policies. Depth is the thing that makes long documents unnavigable, and the fix is splitting, not indenting.
- Everything stops at the measure. Unlike an article there is nothing here that earns full width — no tables, no figures. A full-bleed paragraph of legal text is the least readable thing this system can produce.
- Date it, visibly. "Last updated" belongs in the header at caption size. An undated policy cannot be relied on and cannot be disputed.
- One callout, maximum. The point of an aside on a page of uniform grey text is that it is the exception. Two asides is a page with a second body style.
- Prose links keep their underline. Inside a run of text, colour alone is not a distinguishing feature (WCAG 1.4.1) — the footer's link columns can drop it because a column has no prose to be distinguished from.
