Applying for Planning Approval begins before anything else happens - even establishing a brief can be a waste of time if this initial research has not been carried out.


Working within the planning requirements may be restrictive, but it’s far more productive than trying to make a scheme comply after the event. The Code for Sustainable Homes requires a Design Statement to be written at the outset and then adhered to. Not knowing the extent of this document at the outset will, at the very least, slow down this process.


We can advise on how to comply and how to make complying help you get approval. Councils now work on a presumption that ‘sustainable’ planning applications should be granted planning permission unless there is a strong reason not to.


Sustainability has grown to mean two things in planning parlance - it’s about a community being self supporting as much as about an individual building being eco friendly. They are both born out of the same desire to reduce the built environment’s impact on the natural environment, but knowing how to comply is how it works.
