Planning Statements

Providing you with bespoke and well-researched planning statements, that give you with the best chance of success.

Robust Planning Statements That Strengthen Your Application

Planning Statements are a key part of successful planning applications.

At Cedar Planning, we deliver bespoke high-quality Planning Statements that clearly set out the planning justification for your development. We tailor each Planning Statement to the individual needs of the site and proposed development.

Whether you're submitting a householder application, a major residential scheme, or a commercial project, our bespoke planning statements include a thorough assessment of the relevant planning considerations, and are individual to each site and location.

What Is a Planning Statement?

A Planning Statement is a key supporting document for many planning applications. It explains:

The proposal’s planning context
How the scheme aligns with national and local planning policy
The justification for the development in planning terms

A robust and well-prepared Planning Statement helps address any concerns that the local planning authority may have about your proposal.

A Planning Statement is a requirement for major developments, but can also be a vitally important tool for smaller developments, especially if the proposal is controversial or requires challenging issues to be addressed.
