2i. Outline Planning Permission

Required for outline planning applications. These applications are generally only appropriate for new build developments outside conservation areas and are not appropriate for changes of use, or for proposals which are within or adjacent to a conservation area or involve development to or adjacent to a listed building.

Where access is a reserved matter there is a requirement to indicate where access points to the development would be situated.

If access is to be determined at the outline stage all transport matters must be dealt with in detail, including the submission of a Transport Impact assessment where necessary.

Plans should be proportionate to the nature and size of the proposal, correctly titled, with individual drawing numbers on each plan, show paper size and annotated with either dimensions or with a scale bar (horizontally and vertically) and not having ‘Do Not Scale’ or equivalent.

The Council reserves the right to request further information in the form of e.g. indicative drawings and other supplementary documents, if it is not possible to determine the application on the reserved matters indicated (Article 5 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
