Design and Acess Statements - Reserved Matters - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

Design and Access Statements are required to accompany applications for planning permission (with a few exceptions) and listed building consent - para. 56 of Circular 01/2006. An aplication for reserved matters approval is not an application for planning permission - it's just providing details required under the terms of the outline pp. So I think it's absolutely right to say that D & A Statements are not required for reserved matters applications.

I concur with one possible issue. It would require the Outline to have addressed indicative design and access. If it didn't, and was an outline with no matters reserved, the access and design issues need to be addressed, and an A&D statement would resolve this. As such, the applicant should be encouraged to submit one anyway, though not a reason to invalidate if missing

Thanks both - very useful.
