Planarize Mesh Faces

Hi all,

I have a surface mesh which I have constructed from some lofted curves and am trying to planarize the faces whilst also trying to equalise the edge lengths without much success and having hunted around on the forums for quite a while.

The end goal of this is to reduce the number of unique faces on the mesh.

I can planarize the mesh easy enough although some of the quads become very distorted.

When I introduce a length equalisation this pushes the mesh further from its original shape and reduces the number of faces which are planar.

Any help would be great on this I've been stuck on this for awhile an am fairly new to kangaroo
