Planning Support & Technical Documentation
Securing Consents through Technical Excellence
The planning process is increasingly complex, with local authorities requiring a suite of technical reports before an application is even considered. At Ellipsis Consulting Eningeers Ltd, we provide the specialist engineering evidence needed to de-risk your submission and secure a "positive recommendation" from statutory consultees.
Whether you are submitting a Pre-App, a Full Planning Application, or seeking to Discharge Conditions, our reports are tailored to meet the specific requirements of National Planning Policy and Local Lead Authorities.
Our Planning Support Services
Technical Planning Statements: We draft the engineering chapters of your Planning Statement, proving that the site can be safely accessed and sustainably drained.
Flood Risk Assessments (FRA): Site-specific reports that satisfy the Environment Agency and ensure your development is safe for its lifetime.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Strategies: Concept and outline drainage designs that demonstrate compliance with the latest rainfall and climate change mandates.
Transport Statements & Assessments: Technical justifications for your site access, parking provision, and impact on the local highway network.
Sequential & Exception Testing: Detailed evidence-based reports to justify development in areas of higher flood risk when no alternative sites are available.
Discharge of Planning Conditions: We provide the detailed engineering drawings (Levels, Drainage, Highways) required to "clear" technical conditions, allowing you to start on-site without delay.
Navigating the Planning Minefield
Expert Liaison: We act as your technical voice, engaging directly with Highways Officers, the Environment Agency, and Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs) to resolve objections before they reach the planning committee.
Proportionate Reporting: We don't over-complicate. We provide the exact level of detail required for your specific project—whether it’s a single-dwelling infill or a multi-phase masterplan.
Future-Proofing: Our reports account for evolving legislation, such as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act, ensuring your planning consent remains valid and buildable.
The Advantage of Early Engagement
By involving our planning team at the start of your project, we identify "red flag" issues that could lead to a refusal. We turn constraints into opportunities, using smart engineering to maximise your developable area while keeping the planners happy.
