design and access statements

Most planning applications, and applications for listed building or conservation area consent, must now be accompanied by a Design and Access Statement. The purpose of a Design and Access Statement is to explain the design principles and ideas behind the proposed development and how it fits in with the relevant planning policies. In addition Design and Access Statements for a listed building are also expected to show that the potential impact of the proposed development on the historic and architectural importance of the building and its setting has been taken into account. TRIGPOINT Conservation & Planning has successfully prepared a number of Design and Access Statements, including development affecting a listed building where a more specialist approach was required.
