434 articlesWhich reports a site crossing half a hectare with six units needs
Naming six units keeps a 0.6 hectare site out of the major category, but the area still drives the ecology, net gain and drainage work. The real triggers and the right sequence.
Which reports a scheme needing both flood tests needs
Where flood zone and vulnerability combine, three documents have to work together for three different readers. What the sequential test, exception test and FRA each have to prove.
Which reports a children's play barn in a rural building needs
Car park noise and a Saturday morning parking peak decide a rural play barn application, not the noise inside the building. The document list and the access evidence that carries it.
Which reports a village hall replacement needs
Community facility policy, event noise and rural drainage set the document list for a replacement village hall, not floor area. What councils expect, and when a bat roost delays everything.
Reports for a crematorium or burial ground extension
Groundwater risk and cremator emissions decide these applications. Both sit partly outside planning, and both need commissioning before the layout is fixed.
Reports for a two storey roof extension to a flat block
Whether the prior approval route is open decides which reports you need. Here is the evidence pack for a two storey upward extension either way.
Which reports a dog day care business needs
Barking is the only issue that really decides a dog day care application. Here is the evidence that answers it, and the documents you can safely leave out.
Which reports a funeral directors in a former bank needs
Moving a funeral directors into a former bank may not need permission for the use at all. The works, the hearse access and the mortuary ventilation are a different matter.
Which reports a data centre with standby generation needs
A data centre with diesel standby plant lives or dies on two documents. Here is the full evidence base, in the order you should commission it.
Which reports a wedding venue in a farm building needs
Councils are generally sympathetic to rural diversification. The refusals come from the detail of how a hundred guests leave a field at midnight, and from the lane they leave along.
Which reports a rooftop plant enclosure on flats needs
Part 1 permitted development does not apply to flats, so rooftop plant needs permission. Two questions decide it: can the roof carry the load, and what does the plant sound like in the bedrooms below.
Which reports a site in a minerals safeguarding area needs
Mineral and waste safeguarding protects resources and operating facilities from being sealed over or squeezed out. What a council expects in the application, and the exemptions in most plans.
Which reports a site with a substation or gas governor needs
A substation or gas governor changes the layout before it changes the document set. Who owns it, whether it can stay, and what its presence does to the land around it.
Which reports a site in an AQMA near a school needs
An Air Quality Management Area does not block a scheme, but it moves the burden of proof. Here is the evidence an English council expects when a school sits close to the site.
A site with no constraints: what is still required
An unconstrained site means fewer technical reports, not fewer drawings. Here is the minimum document set, the common validation failures and why over-submission costs you.
Which reports arrive after permission, not before
Some evidence is deliberately deferred to a condition. Here is which reports arrive after permission, what each trigger means, and how to keep the programme intact.
Appeal submissions and the evidence an inspector expects
An appeal re-determines the application you submitted. The document set exists to answer the refusal reasons and refresh expired survey data, nothing more.
Section 73 applications and which reports must be refreshed
A section 73 application produces a new permission in today's policy context, so regulatory change and expired surveys can expand the evidence base even for a trivial variation.
Reserved matters submissions and the reports that return
A reserved matters application resolves what the outline left open and refreshes what has gone out of date. Here is which reports return, which can be carried over, and how to show it.
Hybrid applications and which reports cover which part
A hybrid application grants detailed permission for one part of a site and outline for the rest. Here is which reports cover the whole site, which cover only the detailed part, and how to avoid a validation refusal.
What an 18 metre building height adds to a submission
Crossing 18 metres or seven storeys with a residential building engages Planning Gateway One and a Fire Statement. Here is how the height is measured and what else the application has to carry.
What crossing half a hectare changes on a small site
The 0.5 hectare limb of the major development definition only engages when the number of dwellings is unknown. Everything turns on the red line and the unit count.
What crossing 1,000 square metres of floorspace changes
Additional floorspace of 1,000 m2 or more makes a non-residential scheme major development. That reclassification, rather than the floorspace itself, drives most of the extra evidence.
When a Tree Preservation Order and a listed building meet
Listed building consent does not authorise work to a protected tree. Only a full planning permission can, and only where the tree work is necessary to implement it.
