Commonly Asked Questions
A Full Planning Application is needed for new buildings or substantial changes to existing ones that fall outside of permitted development rights. Whether it’s a new dwelling, change of use, or significant extension, Rubix Planning can assess your proposal and advise if full planning consent is the correct route.
What is a Full Planning Application and when is it required?
_edited.jpg)
A strong application needs more than drawings — it must be justified in planning terms. Rubix produces professionally presented submissions, complete with the necessary reports, planning statements, and supporting design information to meet national and local validation requirements.
What’s involved in preparing a strong full application?
Every council has specific requirements for housing, design, access, and amenity. Rubix Planning reviews your scheme against local policy early on, shaping the proposal accordingly and ensuring that any constraints or sensitivities are addressed upfront.
How do local policies affect approval chances?
_edited.jpg)
Absolutely. Even small residential schemes are expected to demonstrate good design, contextual awareness, and sustainability. Rubix Planning works alongside architects or produces its own drawings to ensure your application meets design expectations from the outset.
Can design quality influence the outcome?
Depending on the site, you may need a Design & Access Statement, Flood Risk Assessment, Daylight Report, or Tree Survey. Rubix Planning coordinates all planning-related documentation and flags early where external specialists may be needed.
What additional documents might be required?
