Planning Statements

The planning process is rooted in democratic participation and political accountability and there are many factors which influence decision makers such as compliance with the relevant policy framework, political sensitivities and views of stakeholders such as communities and consultees.

Planning statements are a fundamental and vitally important part of every planning application. AJB Town Planning can prepare a well written planning statement which persuasively explains the ways in which the application complies with the development plan, demonstrates an understanding of local context, articulates any benefits of the development and shows compliance with other relevant material planning considerations. This will enable decision makers to better understand the merits of the development and not make incorrect assumptions due to lack of supporting information. While planning permission can never be guaranteed, a strong supporting statement will maximise chances of success.
