The Design and Access Statement (DAS) is your team's opportunity to summarise the how, what and why for your development.

However, deadline pressures mean many
developers, architects and planning consultants
simply don’t have the time to give this document the
care it deserves.

Calling on our nearly two decades of experience
working with some of the built environment’s biggest
names, our experts are able to help you craft
compelling copy to support your planning application
and give it the best chance of success.

 Whether you need full end-to-end assistance or just
a final set of eyes, our team are on hand to help
your DAS dazzle.

Frequently asked questions​

Design and Access Statements (DAS) are documents typically required in urban planning and architectural processes. These statements provide a comprehensive explanation of the design rationale behind a proposed development or project, as well as how it ensures accessibility for all users. DAS serve as a crucial tool for local planning authorities and stakeholders to understand the design principles, objectives, and considerations that underpin a development, and how it adheres to relevant planning policies. These statements help evaluate the impact of a project on its surroundings and facilitate informed decision-making in the planning and development approval process.
