Write a better Planning Statement — without starting from a blank page.
A free Word template for homeowners preparing a planning application in England. It shows what to put in each part of a Planning Statement, with an example paragraph and space for your own wording. It is an educational starting point. It is not a government form. Not every application needs a Planning Statement, and your council may ask for different information on its validation list.
The download follows Verilio's Planning Statement structure. Each section explains what it is for and what to include. Where background information would help, it points you to what is worth looking up. An illustrative example shows the kind of paragraph you might write, and there is space for your own draft.
Some sections of a Planning Statement are only relevant to certain proposals or sites. You should include the considerations that are relevant to your development rather than treating every topic below as mandatory.
Verilio's Property & Planning Research report researches the property, planning history, planning authority, relevant planning information and available planning constraints for you.
