Design and Access Statements - Drafts / Plans and Elevations In the early days (seems like a lifetime ago), my town planning consultancy career initially involved appealing refused planning applications and quickly expanded to include the drafting of Design and Access Statements for planning applications. After a few years, I started to prepare plans and elevations for planning applications and for several years now, I have provided the full planning service from planning appraisals and the submission of pre-application planning enquiries to the submission of planning applications (principally householder applications) and planning appeals. The crux in the matter is knowing what changes are required to a refused scheme to make it acceptable and to be able to advise on how to achieve permission for the amendment. Being a good Town Planner is not only about being able to submit planning applications and appeals, but also about being able to give the right advise that makes a difference to getting the scheme approved. Visiting the property is imperative to be able to discuss the proposal with the clients to gain an understanding of what is wanted and measure up the property in order to prepare the plans and elevations for the application for a proposed development. As a matter of course, I always forward a set of the draft plans to the clients to ensure that what I have drafted is what is wanted, in advance of the submission of the application. I am always content to make amendments where necessary. Upon confirmation that the prepared plans are correct, the application is submitted. We also prepare and submit letters of objection for those neighbours of a planning application who wish to object to a proposal for the adverse impact it may have on their property and their amenities. We do not charge a fee for an initial consultation, be it by telephone, on-line or in person. Over the 11 years in which I have been doing my consultancy work I have succeeded in securing many clients planning permission, either from the Local Planning Authority or at appeal.
