If you’re due to undertake a construction project, it’s vital you understand the factors that will affect the outcome of your planning application. By familiarising yourself with these factors before submitting a planning application, you will be able to ensure that your plans tick all the necessary boxes from the get-go, therefore reducing the likelihood of downtime and/or major changes further down the line. To ensure you’re fully informed, let’s delve into the essential factors that can make or break your planning application.
Thorough Site Analysis and Design
The foundation of a successful planning application lies in a thorough site analysis and a well-designed proposal. Before submitting the application, it is crucial to assess the site's constraints and opportunities. The team here at Simon Levy Associates conducts detailed site assessments, taking into account local planning policies, environmental impact and the surrounding context. By developing a well-designed proposal that aligns with these factors, the chances of a positive
planning permission outcome significantly increase.
Compliance with Local Planning Policies
Local planning policies play a pivotal role in shaping planning decisions. Our in-depth knowledge of local planning regulations ensures that your project complies with all relevant guidelines, reducing the risk of rejection due to policy violations. By carefully navigating through the intricate web of local policies, we maximise your chances of obtaining planning permission.
Community and Stakeholder Engagement
Engaging with the local community and relevant stakeholders can greatly influence the planning permission outcome, particularly with large-scale projects. Addressing their concerns and incorporating their feedback into the proposal shows a willingness to work collaboratively. Our team can assist you in conducting consultations, gathering feedback and making necessary adjustments in order to foster a positive relationship with the community and stakeholders.
Expert Documentation and Presentation
Accurate and well-presented documentation is essential in making a compelling case for your planning application. At Simon Levy Associates, we leverage our extensive experience to prepare comprehensive and convincing documentation that clearly communicates the benefits of your project to decision-makers.
