The evidence pack your council is asking for.
Many clients reach this stage because a planning officer, architect or consultant has identified a specific report or assessment required for submission. We prepare and coordinate planning-stage reports so the evidence is consistent, submission-ready and aligned with the wider project.
Not sure if this is the right stage? If your council has requested a specific report, send us the request or validation comments and we can help confirm what is needed.
Send us the requestPlanning-stage reports and statements
The specific reports and statements local authorities most often request at RIBA 3, delivered individually or coordinated as one planning evidence pack.
For planning committees and the GLA.

WaterWater Efficiency Calculations
Part G and enhanced water efficiency calculations to support planning conditions and sustainability requirements.
Site, air, noise, water and land.
Air Quality Assessments
Screening and detailed air quality assessments for planning applications where emissions, local air quality or nearby AQMAs are a consideration.
NoiseNoise Impact Assessments
Noise assessments to support residential, commercial and mixed-use planning submissions.
DaylightDaylight and Sunlight Assessments

Phase 1 desk studies and coordination of further site investigations where contaminated land may affect planning conditions.
Flood riskFlood Risk Assessments
Flood Risk Assessments and drainage strategy support for sites in higher-risk flood zones or above relevant site thresholds.
Clear planning evidence, written for the people reviewing it.
Planning submissions often involve several reports, policy references and consultee requirements. We help bring that information together so the evidence is clear, consistent and aligned with what the authority is asking for.
- Reports aligned with local and national planning policy
- Assumptions kept consistent across the full evidence pack
- Consultee comments and validation requirements addressed directly
What you get for the planning submission.
Common questions
The council has asked for a specific report. Do you do that one?
In most cases, yes. We support a wide range of energy, sustainability, carbon, overheating, air quality, noise, daylight, contamination and flood-related reports for UK planning submissions. Send us the planning request or validation comments and we can confirm the right scope.
Can you handle London Plan and GLA submissions?
Yes. We can support London Plan Energy Statements, Whole Life-Cycle Carbon reporting, carbon hierarchy evidence and borough-specific sustainability requirements.
Do reports have to be coordinated?
They should be. Energy statements, carbon reporting and overheating assessments often rely on the same design assumptions. Coordinating them helps keep the planning pack consistent.
How quickly can you turn a planning pack around?
This depends on the project, scope, drawings and number of reports required. Once we have reviewed the information, we can confirm a realistic programme and fee.
