The TDC submission must be accompanied by sufficient information to allow full assessment, including (but not limited to) the following documents: • Site layout plan and detailed design drawings (including elevations, floor plans, footprint comparision between existing and proposed buildings, materials and boundary treatments). • Access and parking details (vehicular and pedestrian access, turning, cycle storage). • Hard and soft landscaping scheme, including replacement planting, biodiversity enhancements and long-term management. • Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) and Tree Constraints Plan in accordance with BS5837:2012. • Sustainable drainage strategy, including foul and surface water arrangements. • Residential amenity assessment (garden space, outlook, separation distances). • Energy Statement demonstrating compliance with SWDP 27 (minimum 10% renewable/low-carbon energy provision). • Ecology surveys and any necessary mitigation/enhancement measures. • Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessment (unless exempt under the relevant Regulations), including metric calculations and delivery plan. • Ground investigation/contamination report (where relevant). • Refuse and servicing strategy (storage and collection arrangements). The Local Planning Authority will expect these matters to be fully addressed within the TDC application in order to determine the proposal.
