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.
