Approval of reserved matters following outline approval
Where outline permission has been granted, you may, within three years of the outline approval, make an application for the outstanding reserved matters - this is the information excluded from the initial outline planning application. This will typically include information about the layout, access, scale and appearance of the development.
The following items are needed for all applications
• Application form
• Fee
• Location plan (scale 1:2500 or 1:1250) with site outlined in red
• Block plan (scale 1:500) or site plan (scale 1:200) – if the proposal will alter an existing building footprint or create a new building footprint
• Site levels (scale 1:200) – if the proposal will lead to a change in the level of the land

• Elevation drawings – existing and proposed (scale 1:50 or 1:100) – if the proposal will create, alter or add to a building
• Elevation drawings contextual – existing and proposed (scale 1:50 or 1:100) – if the proposal is ‘major’
• Cross section drawings through building – existing and proposed (scale 1:50 or 1:100) – if the proposal is for a new building
