DESIGN • ACCESS STATEMENTS

A Design • Access Statement (DAS) is now a requirement for most planning applications and all applications for Listed Building Consent.

The DAS has to be submitted at the same time as the planning application forms and fees are submitted to your local council.

WHAT IS A DESIGN ACCESS STATEMENT?

A DAS is a paper that explains the design thinking behind the application, in order to demonstrate that the applicant has carefully thought through how the proposed conservatory is appropriate to its surrounding area. There is no special format to it and there is no official form you need to fill in, but it should be relevant to the application and can contain plans or photographs where appropriate.
