Planning Statements & Supporting Reports

Overview

A well-prepared planning statement is a critical component of most planning applications. It explains the proposal, assesses policy compliance, and addresses potential planning concerns in a structured and professional manner.We prepare planning statements and supporting reports that are proportionate, policy-led, and tailored to the specific Local Planning Authority and proposal.

Types of Documents We Prepare:

• Planning Statements
• Design and Access Statements (where required)
• Supporting Justification Reports
• Planning Statements for Appeals
• Statements to accompany LDC applications

Our documents are written to assist decision-makers, clearly setting out why a proposal complies with the development plan and why planning permission should be granted.This service can be provided as part of a wider planning application or as standalone support where required by clients or architects.
