Planning Portal - Mandatory Documents

[ajrobb]

I want to alter the layout of a flat in a Grade II listed building. I have spoken with LA Building Control and Conservation Officer and shown them what I intend to do and they seem OK. I am now struggling with the Planning Portal trying to complete the Planning Application for "Householder Planning and listed building consent". The on-line help simply states the obvious and is no help in describing the mandatory documents

• Additional Plans
  Design and Access Statement
  Other Plans
  Site and Other Plans (used their link for this)
  The Location Plan

To summarise, I want to close a large opening in the spine wall and create a smaller opening to the side. I have the engineer's drawings for this. Building Control also want me to insulate the bathroom annexe exterior walls as more than 25% needs replastering. I also want to install an air-to-air heat pump with an external heat exchanger at the rear, but this is much less important if I can't.

Where can I find a good description of each of the mandatory documents?

Authorities exact requirements vary, this is a downside to an online application via the PP. Have a word with your conservation officer or your local planning department and they'll tell you exactly what you need to supply in order to validate the application.

Normally its location plan, relevant plans and or elevations of the building, a site plan sometimes (depending on the authority), a D&AS and listed building apps sometimes need specific drawings to show what works you require in more detail.

Why don't you just submit the following...

- Design and Access Statement (Exactly this)
- The Location Plan (Location Plan at 1:1250)
- Site and Other Plans (Site/Block Plan at 1:200/500)
- Other Plans (Plans as Existing)
- Additional Plans (Plans as Proposed)

Or as FMT said, if you contact the LPA and ask what they require, if you only require some and not all of the above, when you come to upload the documents online to the PP, then just upload a PDF'd MS Word document with the following text "Not applicable".

My LPA may be able to provide further guidance...

Thanks for the replies. I've been down to the Town Hall and spoken with a Validation Officer about what she expects. She steered me away from 'Householder and Listed Building Consent' towards simple 'Listed Building Consent' as that has no fees. (In effect I would have had to pay £150 to ask neighbours for permission to bolt a heat exchanger to the back wall - a storage heater is looking more attractive. )
