434 articlesWhich reports a basement under a London terrace needs
A basement impact assessment governs the whole submission, and borough policy caps on depth, footprint and soil cover decide whether the scheme is possible at all.
Which reports a heat pump on a listed building needs
Permitted development rights never displace listed building consent, and the internal pipe runs and cylinder are usually the part of a heat pump scheme that fails.
Which reports a pub to residential conversion needs
Pub conversions are refused on marketing and viability evidence far more often than on technical grounds, and permitted development rights were removed in 2017.
Which reports a day nursery in a residential street needs
Converting a house to a day nursery needs permission, and the application turns on outdoor play noise and the short drop-off peak rather than on floorspace.
Which reports a 12 flat brownfield scheme needs
Twelve flats behaves like a large scheme. Here is what crossing the ten unit major threshold adds to the evidence base on a brownfield site, document by document.
Which reports a self-build plot in a conservation area needs
A plot inside a conservation area needs four or five more documents than one outside it. Here is what designation adds and why the design evidence has to be drawn rather than described.
Reports needed for a cemetery or burial ground extension
A cemetery extension stands or falls on groundwater risk. Here is the screening that comes first, the ground investigation that follows, and the rest of the document bundle a council expects.
Mezzanine floors in shops: when planning permission is needed
Section 55(2A) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 makes a retail mezzanine development once it provides more than 200 square metres. Here is how the threshold is measured and what the application needs to cover.
Reports needed for an intensive poultry unit
Two numbers shape a poultry unit application: bird places and the distance to the nearest designated habitat. Everything in the evidence base follows from them.
Reports needed for an anaerobic digestion plant on a farm
A farm digester is assessed as an industrial installation in open countryside. Here is the evidence base, from the screening opinion to the conditions on feedstock.
Reports needed for boarding kennels and dog daycare
Animal boarding falls outside the use classes, so any change of use needs permission. The application stands or falls on barking noise, traffic peaks and waste handling.
Reports needed for a micro-brewery with a taproom
Brewing and drinking are two uses on one site. How to describe the mixed use, and why odour, plant noise, patron noise and trade effluent consent decide the application.
Reports needed for a house in a conservation area
Conservation area status removes permitted development rights, adds a statutory duty on the council and puts a six week notice on tree works. Here is the document bundle that follows.
Reports needed for a barn to office conversion under Class R
Class R lets an agricultural building become an office without a planning application, but above 150 m² of cumulative floorspace the council will test four matters. This is the evidence each one needs.
Reports needed for a shop front and signage scheme
Two consents, two forms, two sets of rules. What a shopfront and signage scheme needs to submit, and where deemed consent runs out.
Reports needed at the 150 unit mark in England
One hundred and fifty dwellings adds EIA screening and a new statutory consultee. Here is the document bundle and where the evidence base can be phased.
Reports needed for an out of centre retail unit
Two documents decide an out of centre retail application. A practical guide to the sequential test, the impact assessment and the rest of the evidence base.
Reports needed for a 2,500 m2 industrial unit
At 2,500 square metres an industrial building is major development, needs transport assessment and triggers biodiversity net gain. This is the full evidence base.
Reports needed for a telecoms mast under Part 16
A mast application under Part 16 is judged on siting and appearance alone. Here is the evidence that answers those two questions and the deadline that governs the process.
Reports needed for a dropped kerb and front parking
Laying the driveway and crossing the footway are two different permissions. Here is what the permeability condition requires, what the highway authority checks, and which reports you need.
Reports needed to convert a pub to a house
Pub conversions are decided on community facility policy, not design. Here is the marketing and viability evidence that carries the decision, and the technical reports that go with it.
Reports needed for a battery storage site by a substation
Grid-scale battery storage in England is determined by the local planning authority whatever its capacity. This is the evidence base a scheme next to a substation actually needs.
Reports needed for a self-storage unit on an estate
Self-storage applications on allocated employment sites are decided on job density rather than on technical impact. How to build the employment case, and what the rest of the bundle contains.
Reports needed for a gym in a former warehouse
Moving a gym into a warehouse unit needs planning permission and two arguments: the loss of employment floorspace, and structure-borne noise from dropped weights.
