Jason Yates' unique skill set of Masterplanning and Architecture, allied to a good planning policy knowledge means that he is able to quickly work out a design which provides the maximum value for the site and the maximum chance of securing that all important planning consent.
For small sites, we are able to steer the scheme successfully through the planning process including Pre-application Consultation and planning submission.
For larger schemes, we are able to recommend a consultant team, including a planning consultant who together can ensure the more complex planning process can be successfully negotiated.

stage 3: planning application
Planning Permission is vitally important for any residential/masterplanning scheme. It raises the level of the land value, and gives permission for development to occur subject to Planning Obligations, discharge of pre-commencement planning conditions and building regulations consent.

- Recommend appointments for a full consultant team (this will vary in size, depending on the scheme) .
- Complete all the steps in stage 2 (except for the Pre-application meeting and feedback) if these have not been already undertaken.
- Revise the design if required according to outputs from stage 2 (including Pre-application feedback).
- Provide a spatially coordinated design including a detailed siteplan, general arrangement plans, sections and elevations and streetscene elevations.
- Audit the scheme with the consultant team in the light of planning policy and the relevant section of the building regulation approved documents that are applicable to the spatial coordination of the scheme.
- Liaise with the consultant team over the relevant technical reports and surveys, and feed these back into the design
- Advise on public consultation and attend a public exhibition if one is required.
- Compile, write and annotate a full Design and Access Statement Document to include site context, planning policy, planning history, historic context, opportunities & constraints, design concept sketches, use, amount, access, landscape, appearance and scale analyses.
- Submit the planning application, monitor progress and manage communications with the Planning Officer if the design is for a minor application.
