Tools: Planning Guidance


Most workplace transformation projects will require the need for statutory planning permission at a defined point in their lifecycle. Clearly, a workplace transformation which requires minimal change to the built environment will not require statutory planning permission. However Councils may be undertaking substantial workplace change including refurbishments, redevelopments and alteration works to listed buildings.

For workplace transformation projects that do require statutory planning guidance the following Planning Process has been produced. This gives a high level of understanding of the statutory planning process that may be required as part of the overall project process. Although the tools detailed below give overarching guidance on the potential planning process required, it is advised that Councils seek guidance from their internal statutory planning officers as early in the project lifecycle as is feasible.
