Design and Access Statements

In Wales from 1st June 2009 it became a statutory requirement for Design and Access Statements to accompany applications for planning permission and listed buildings consent (with some exclusions).

This information note has been prepared by the Wrexham County Borough Council Planning Department to provide guidance to applicants/agents on the requirements for, and suggested content of, Design and Access Statements (DAS). This guidance should not be treated as definitive, but is intended to assist applicants, agents and developers to consider the design and access issues relevant to their development proposals. However there may be further issues that should be considered when a scheme is designed and subsequently discussed in the DAS that have not been covered by this information note.
