Useful publications on design statements
Where appropriate, design and access statements should refer to relevant guidance, such as The Highland Council’s Development Plan Policy Guidance – Designing for Sustainability in the Highlands.
The following Scottish Government publications may also be useful:
- PAN 68 – Design Statements, 2003
- PAN 67 – Housing Quality, 2003
- PAN 78 – Inclusive Design, 2006
- Designing Places, 2001
You can use the Definition of a major development to determine if your development proposal requires a design and access statement.
