Design and Access Statements
Depending upon your proposed development, you may need to
provide a Design and Access Statement with your application.
Statements should explain how access arrangements would ensure that
all users will have equal and convenient access to buildings and
spaces and the public transport network. The Statement should
address the need for flexibility of the development and how it may
adapt to changing needs. You can download:
