434 articlesDocument bundle for a Class Q barn conversion
Class Q prior approval tests six listed matters and a set of hard limits. Here is the evidence that answers each one, and the point at which a full application is the better route.
Document bundle for a rear dormer in a conservation area
A rear dormer in a conservation area always needs permission because Class B is withdrawn. Here is the drawing set and the evidence that gets one approved.
Documents for a crane oversailing neighbouring land
Oversailing a neighbour's airspace is trespass without a licence. Planning controls the method statement instead. Here is what each document has to carry.
Documents for an attenuation pond or balancing lagoon
An attenuation basin needs more than storage calculations. Here is the document set, the reservoir threshold that changes everything, and the adoption questions to ask first.
Documents for a single wind turbine on a farm
A single farm turbine needs full permission and a heavier evidence base than its size suggests. Here is the pack, from EIA screening to the decommissioning commitment.
Documents for a scheme in a scheduled monument's setting
Development in the setting of a scheduled monument needs a setting assessment, archaeological baseline and agreed visual material. Here is the pack, and who has to be consulted.
Documents for a vehicle wash on a commercial site
Vehicle washing is sui generis, so it needs permission even on a commercial site. The application turns on where the wash water goes and how loud the equipment is.
Documents for a soft play centre in a retail warehouse
Soft play in a retail warehouse is a within-class change on paper and a full application in practice, because unit conditions restrict the use. Here is the evidence the authority will want.
Documents for adding storeys to a block of flats
Adding storeys to an existing block needs structural, daylight, fire and construction logistics evidence. Here is the document set and the order to produce it in.
Planning documents for a scheme on a former landfill
Building on a closed landfill needs a Phase 1 and Phase 2 contamination evidence base, months of gas monitoring and a verified protection design. Here is the pack and the order to produce it in.
Documents for a district heating energy centre
Flue height is calculated by dispersion modelling, not chosen. Model the plant before the elevations are fixed, or the flue will not be able to rise where it must.
Documents for a microbrewery with a taproom
Brewing is industrial, a taproom is sui generis, so the application is for a mixed use. Trade effluent, odour and customer noise outside decide the outcome.
Documents for a boarding kennels or dog day care
Boarding kennels and dog day care fall outside every use class, so full permission is needed. Barking noise, washdown effluent and drop-off peaks decide the application.
Documents for a scheme over a disused mine shaft
A recorded mine entry brings an exclusion zone scaled to the uncertainty in its position. Locating the shaft properly comes before any layout work.
Documents for a rural worker's dwelling
A rural worker's dwelling needs an essential functional need and a financially sound enterprise. Here is the evidence pack, and why most refusals turn on the accounts rather than the need.
Documents for a scheme on a Local Green Space designation
Development on a Local Green Space needs very special circumstances. Here is the pack that gives a scheme any chance, starting with whether the designation was validly made.
Documents for a 2,500 square metre commercial scheme
A 2,500 square metre commercial building is major development and sits on the transport assessment and retail impact thresholds. Here is the pack, and the sequence that stops you rewriting it.
Documents for a basement extension under a terraced house
A basement under a terrace needs more than plans and a planning statement. Here is the evidence councils ask for, from screening and groundwater monitoring to the construction traffic plan and the lightwell detail.
Documents for a site in an aerodrome safeguarding zone
Safeguarding zones reach far beyond the runway. Height data above ordnance datum, drainage without open water and early engagement with the operator keep the application moving.
Documents for a telecoms installation under Part 16
Part 16 prior approval decides siting and appearance only. That shapes the pack: alternatives, visual material and the exposure declaration do the work, not coverage arguments.
Documents for a scheme beside a railway line
The council validates one set of documents and the infrastructure owner wants another. The asset protection agreement, not the application, is what sets your programme.
Documents for a solar canopy over a car park
A canopy over an existing car park exceeds the stand-alone solar permitted development right, so it needs an application. Reflection, wind, water and trees decide it.
Documents for a battery storage scheme on farmland
Grid-scale battery storage in England is decided by the council. The pack turns on fire safety, plant noise, agricultural land quality and a credible restoration commitment.
Documents for a floodlit sports court in a housing area
Two issues decide these applications: obtrusive light at the nearest windows and the sharp, repetitive noise of ball on racket. Everything else is secondary.
