434 articlesReports needed for a nursery in a former bank unit
Moving a day nursery into a former bank unit rarely needs permission for the change of use itself. The evidence the council will want covers the works, outdoor play space, drop-off and extraction.
Reports for a scheme next to a designated wildlife site
Next to a designated site the assessment follows the pathways: land take, hydrology, air quality, recreation, lighting and noise. What to map, survey and submit.
Reports for a 1,000 square metre commercial building
A commercial building of 1,000 square metres is major development with no residential units involved. What that changes, and which reports the submission usually needs.
What the report pack adds at fifty dwellings
Major status starts at ten dwellings, but fifty is where the highway authority wants a Transport Assessment and the council wants consultation evidence. Here is what gets added, and when to commission it.
Reports for a site next to an operational railway
The infrastructure operator's requirements decide the programme more often than the planning application does. Engage before submission, not after permission.
Reports needed where a listed building is affected
The statement of significance is the analytical core of a listed building submission. Everything else either establishes the facts it relies on or tests the effect.
Reports needed for a site in Flood Zone 3
In Flood Zone 3 the vulnerability classification comes before the document list. It decides whether the exception test applies, or whether the use is ruled out entirely.
Reports for a small light industrial or storage unit
For a small workshop or storage unit, the yard drives the report list more than the building does. Here is the pack councils expect, and the order to commission it in.
Reports for an HMO conversion in an Article 4 area
An Article 4 direction turns a C3 to C4 change into a full application judged on local standards. The evidence councils expect, and the order to gather it in.
Reports for a residential basement excavation
A basement under a house needs ground, movement and flood evidence that ordinary extensions never touch, plus party wall notices outside the planning system.
Reports for converting an office to a children's nursery
Offices and day nurseries both sit in Class E, so the change of use is usually free. The evidence comes through the works, the conditions and environmental health.
What changes in the report pack at twelve units
At ten dwellings a housing scheme becomes major development. A twelve unit application picks up affordable housing evidence, the full statutory biodiversity metric and a thirteen week clock.
Reports for a nine unit scheme on a brownfield site
One unit below the major threshold changes the determination period, the consultees and the affordable housing position. Here is the evidence base a nine dwelling brownfield scheme still has to assemble.
Reports for a new house on a backland garden plot
A house on a subdivided garden needs a smaller evidence base than a greenfield plot, but a specific one. Access, trees, drainage and the biodiversity baseline decide what you commission and in what order.
Which reports a scheme beside a railway needs
Development beside a live railway brings a second organisation into the process with its own approvals. The noise, vibration, drainage, lighting and construction documents a council and the infrastructure manager expect.
Documents for demolition in a conservation area
Since 2013, demolishing an unlisted building in a conservation area needs planning permission for relevant demolition. Here is the evidence bundle councils ask for, from heritage assessment to bat surveys and the demolition method.
Which reports riverside flats in Flood Zone 3a need
Dwellings are more vulnerable development, so Flood Zone 3a means the exception test as well as the sequential test. Here is the evidence base, in the order it has to be produced.
Report bundle for flats on a former car park
A car park looks like an easy site until the ground investigation comes back. Here is the report bundle a residential scheme on hardstanding usually needs, and the order to commission it in.
Documents a dental or medical practice in a shop needs
A move from retail to a dental surgery or GP practice is normally a change within Class E, so no permission is needed for the use itself. The plant, extraction, shopfront and servicing are a different matter.
Reports for an electric vehicle charging hub
A standalone charging hub is a sui generis use with a heavy evidence base. Queuing, grid capacity, obtrusive light and transformer noise are the four that decide it.
Documents for extending a listed building
An extension to a listed building needs two consents and a far heavier document set than a standard householder application. The significance assessment sets the scope for everything else.
Which reports a twelve unit scheme adds
Ten dwellings is the major development threshold. A twelve unit scheme picks up affordable housing policy, lead local flood authority consultation, full biodiversity net gain and a 13 week determination period.
Documents for a new nursery in a residential street
Converting a dwellinghouse to a day nursery is a material change of use, and it turns on outdoor play noise and drop-off arrangements. Play noise falls outside BS 4142, which catches out consultants and applicants alike.
Which reports an upward extension to a block of flats needs
Part 20 of the GPDO 2015 allows additional storeys on a block of flats through prior approval, but the matters the council may consider are wide enough that the evidence bundle looks like a full application.
