Design & Access Statements
A Design & Access Statement is a written report accompanying certain planning applications and for applications for listed building consent or conservation area consent.
Design & Access Statements demonstrate explain how the proposed development is suitable for the site and its setting, and that it can be adequately accessed. Design & Access Statements can assist local planning authorities in their decision making and permit other readers and stakeholders to understand your proposal.
Design & Access Statements are requested for applications for
Applications for major development,
Applications for development in a designated area, where the proposed development consists of:one or more dwellings; or a building or buildings with a floor space of 100 square metres or more.
Applications for listed building consent.
However in addition to this, each local authority may have their own requirements based on their individual 'validation checklist'; a list of documents required to be submitted in order to validate incoming applications.
Contact us today to enquire as to whether your project will require a Design & Access Statement.
