ABSTRACT

The RIBA Plan of Work 2013 recommends that applications for detailed planning permission are made with the Stage 3 output. This output is a fully coordinated response from the core designers and the basic spatial parameters are unlikely to be changed as the Technical Design is progressed in the next stage. The application is the culmination of the preparatory work from the preceding stages supporting the Developed Design. Making the application is a process of assembling the scheme details and supporting information that have been prepared during the earlier Plan of Work stages and submitting them with the appropriate forms, fees and ownership details. Building Information Modelling models are not yet accepted as part of planning applications; they can generate drawings to an appropriate scale and with the necessary information to be submitted as an output at Stage 3.
