Planning statement

The words that go
with your drawings

Many applications need a short written explanation — what you want to do, how it affects the area, and which local policies it meets. That's a planning statement: the story behind your plans, in the format councils expect.

We draft one tailored to your authority, citing the right policies so you start from something solid — not a blank page — for a one-off fee.

Written for homeowners
Plain-English structure you can review with your family or builder before anything is submitted.
Grounded in your local plan
References the policies your LPA actually uses — so the narrative matches what officers look for.
Editable Word output
Tweak wording with your architect or planning consultant, then attach it to your application pack.
