Project & Site Review
Understand the brief, the property, surrounding context and the information available at the outset.
A clear overview of how a planning or development application can move from early site review through planning assessment, documentation, lodgement and decision.
A planning application is rarely one isolated task. The work typically moves through a sequence of site review, planning assessment, design response and coordinated application material before lodgement and assessment.
Understand the brief, the property, surrounding context and the information available at the outset.
Identify the relevant planning controls, policy considerations and project-specific approval pathway.
Test siting, scale, massing, interfaces and other planning considerations before the application is finalised.
Coordinate the relevant drawings, planning material and supporting information for lodgement and assessment.
The exact process, documentation and approval pathway varies depending on the project, site and jurisdiction.
We review the project brief, site context and available property information, and identify the planning matters likely to shape the approval pathway.
Relevant planning controls, policy considerations, zones, overlays and other site-specific requirements are reviewed to establish the planning context.
Where relevant, siting, scale, setbacks, interfaces and massing are tested against the planning context and project objectives.
Planning drawings, reports and supporting material within our scope are prepared or coordinated, with other consultant inputs incorporated where required.
Where engaged to do so, we coordinate lodgement and liaise with the relevant assessment authority during assessment, including responses to requests for further information where required.
Once a decision is issued, we can review relevant planning conditions and discuss the next steps. Further approvals, amendments or consultant input may be required depending on the project.
