Design and Access Statement

  • Applications for major development
  • Applications for development in a conservation area, where the proposed development consists of:
  • One or more dwellings; or
  • A building or buildings with a floor space of 100 square metres or more
  • Applications for listed building consent

Design and Access Statement must:

(a) Explain the design principles and concepts that have been applied to the proposed development; and

(b) Demonstrate the steps taken to appraise the context of the proposed development, and how the design of the development takes that context into account.

A development's context refers to the particular characteristics of the application site and its wider setting. These will be specific to the circumstances of an individual application and a design and access statement should be tailored accordingly.

Design and access statements must also explain the applicant's approach to access and how relevant local plan policies have been taken into account. They must detail any consultation undertaken in relation to access issues, and how the outcome of this consultation has informed the proposed development. Applicants must also explain how any specific issues which might affect access to the proposed development have been addressed.
