434 articlesDocuments for converting a stable block to holiday lets
A stable block is usually in equestrian rather than agricultural use, which rules out the Part 3 shortcuts. Foul drainage evidence and bat survey timing decide most of these applications.
What a small HMO application needs in an Article 4 area
Where an Article 4 direction has withdrawn Class L permitted development rights, turning a house into a small HMO needs a full planning application. Here is the evidence councils expect and the order to assemble it in.
Reports for a basement under a terraced house
Excavating between two Victorian terraces on shallow footings means evidence on stability, groundwater, surface water and construction traffic, plus a party wall process running alongside.
Report bundle for a single dwelling on an infill plot
A single dwelling is a minor application, and the pack is the national validation list plus the council's local list plus whatever the site constraints trigger. Usually six to nine documents.
Which documents a Class Q barn conversion needs
Class Q prior approval turns on two things: proving the building qualifies, and answering the narrow list of matters the council may consider. Here is the document pack that does both.
Documents for an annexe for a dependent relative
Councils are not assessing whether your annexe is nice. They are assessing whether it is a separate dwelling in disguise, and the drawings decide it.
Documents for a loft conversion with a rear dormer
Most rear dormers are permitted development. The ones that are not usually fail on volume, on a conservation area designation, or on a side window nobody obscured.
Which reports a single wind turbine planning application needs
A single turbine attracts a tighter but stranger evidence base than most rural schemes. Shadow flicker, radar safeguarding and ETSU noise are the three nobody expects.
Which reports a school expansion planning application needs
Expanding an existing school pulls in a narrow set of consultees and a predictable evidence base. Playing field loss, the school run and plant noise decide most of it.
Which reports a new livestock building needs
Prior notification stops where a livestock building falls within 400 metres of a protected building. This sets out that limit, ammonia modelling against designated habitats, odour, slurry and access evidence.
Which reports a veterinary practice needs
A veterinary practice raises a specific set of planning questions: use class, barking at night, clinical waste storage, anaesthetic extraction and emergency cover. This sets out the reports each one calls for.
Which reports padel or tennis courts need
Ball strike noise, light spill and playing field consultation decide most court applications. This sets out the report bundle, the standards each is assessed against, and the conditions to expect.
Which reports a microbrewery and taproom need
Brewing is industrial and a taproom is sui generis, so a combined scheme needs evidence on both. This covers trade effluent, boil odour, plant and event noise, servicing and hours.
Which reports a dog day care and kennels need
Kennels and dog day care always need planning permission. The application turns on a properly measured barking noise assessment and a workable waste and drainage strategy.
Which reports a place of worship conversion needs
Converting a building to a place of worship needs parking evidence taken at peak service times, a noise case that separates amplified sound from arrivals, and a clear capacity figure.
Which reports a rooftop extension to flats needs
Upward extensions to blocks of flats sit between Part 20 prior approval and full planning. Here is the evidence base each route needs, and what changes at 18 metres.
Which reports an EV charging hub needs
Chargers in an existing car park are often permitted development. A hub with its own transformer is not, and the noise from that transformer decides the application.
Which reports a petrol filling station needs
Buried tanks and the groundwater beneath them drive the evidence base for a filling station. What councils and the Environment Agency will ask for, and why.
Which reports an equestrian arena and stables need
A private manege and a commercial livery yard need very different evidence. Here is what councils ask for on equestrian applications, and why the private-or-commercial question comes first.
Which reports holiday lodges on a farm need
Holiday lodge applications on farms turn on landscape effects, foul drainage and access rather than on the business plan. Here is the evidence each of those requires.
Which reports a warehouse extension over 1,000 m2 needs
At 1,000 square metres of new floorspace an industrial extension becomes major development, with a 13 week period and the flood authority as a consultee. Transport and drainage decide most of these applications.
Which reports a house to HMO conversion needs
Whether a C3 to C4 HMO conversion needs any application at all depends on the Article 4 position. Where it does, the parking stress survey is usually the document that decides it.
Which reports an office to flats conversion needs
A full planning application to convert offices to flats needs internal daylight, noise and contamination evidence that the Class MA prior approval route never reaches. Here is the document list and the order to commission it in.
Which reports change at 150 units
Two things change at 150 dwellings: Active Travel England is consulted, and the scheme enters Schedule 2 of the EIA Regulations. Everything else follows from those.
