434 articlesWhich reports a one hectare site in Flood Zone 1 needs
One hectare is the threshold that brings a flood risk assessment into Flood Zone 1. The governing source is usually surface water, and the drainage design carries most of the evidential weight.
Reports for a 1,000 square metre residential building
A thousand square metres of residential floorspace makes a scheme major development and puts fire safety information on the agenda. The statutory Fire Statement trigger is keyed to height, not floorspace, and both need checking.
Which reports a fifty dwelling scheme needs
Fifty dwellings is comfortably major development, below the EIA screening thresholds on most sites, and at the point where transport and consultation evidence steps up from a statement to an assessment.
Which reports a scheme of five dwellings needs
Five new homes is a minor application, below the ten-unit major threshold. That changes which reports are mandatory, which are triggered by site constraints, and which surveys have to be programmed months ahead.
Which documents a conservation area application needs
A conservation area scheme needs the usual drawings plus proof that it preserves or enhances the area. Here is the document bundle, the permitted development rights you lose, and the six week tree notice.
Documents for a scheme in a Source Protection Zone
A groundwater Source Protection Zone restricts infiltration drainage and penetrative foundations. Here is the document set that answers the Environment Agency before it objects.
Documents for a swimming pool building in a rear garden
An enclosed pool building is an outbuilding under Class E, and most refusals turn on height, curtilage coverage or plant noise. Here is what to check and what to submit.
Documents for a dwelling containing a known bat roost
A confirmed bat roost fixes the programme: survey season, then planning permission, then a licence, then works. Here are the documents each stage needs and who has to hold the licence.
Which reports a scheme in an Archaeological Priority Area needs
An Archaeological Priority Area sets the order of work: desk-based assessment, then field evaluation if potential is found, then a written scheme of investigation for agreed mitigation.
Documents for a site crossed by a public sewer
A public sewer imposes a consenting process that runs alongside planning on its own timetable. What to order, what to show and when to start the agreement.
Documents for an agricultural building over the Part 6 limits
The ground area, height and siting limits that end the prior notification route, and what a full planning application for a large farm building has to contain.
Reports for a scheme with a private water supply
What a planning application has to show when the dwelling will be served by a borehole, spring or shared supply, and how the foul drainage evidence fits alongside it.
Documents for a scheme affecting a public right of way
A path on the definitive map needs its own legal order before you build across it. Here are the two document bundles, the tests each one meets, and the timescales.
Documents for a scheme in a nutrient neutrality catchment
In an affected catchment, permission waits on an appropriate assessment. Here is the evidence base that supports it, how credits work, and where a scheme cannot proceed.
Documents for a scheme in a coal mining reporting area
A coalfield site changes the document list and the programme. Here is what the risk assessment must contain, when a permit is needed, and how mine entries reshape a layout.
Which reports a scheme with a Tree Preservation Order needs
Protected trees change the document list before they change the layout. Here is the arboricultural bundle councils expect, and how tree consent runs alongside the planning application.
Reports for subdividing a retail unit within Class E
Subdivision within Class E is not a change of use. What triggers an application is the second shopfront, the new duct and the servicing arrangement for two tenants.
Documents for a single dwelling in Flood Zone 2
There is no small site exemption in Flood Zone 2. A single dwelling needs a site-specific flood risk assessment whatever the plot size, plus a sequential test that officers routinely reject.
Reports for a place of worship in a warehouse
Converting a storage and distribution unit into a place of worship needs full planning permission. The evidence that decides it is parking, noise and the loss of employment floorspace.
Which documents a care home of sixty bedrooms needs
Class C2 changes the assessment, and resident vulnerability changes the evidence. Here is the document set a sixty bedroom care home application usually needs.
Documents for stables and a menage on a rural holding
Equestrian use falls outside agriculture, so farm permitted development does not apply. Here is the document set for stables, an arena and its floodlighting.
Documents for a house to small HMO in an Article 4 area
An Article 4 direction turns a permitted change into a full application judged on concentration policy. Here is the document set and the evidence that carries it.
Document set for converting a shop to a hot food takeaway
Hot food takeaways sit outside Class E, so there is no prior approval route. This is the document set a case officer and environmental health will look for.
Which reports a 0.5 hectare site needs that a smaller one does not
Site area matters in only a handful of places, and each is consequential: major development status, the flood risk trigger, the small sites metric and EIA screening.
