Reserved Matters
If you have submitted an Outline Planning Application and did not include all the details required for the development such as the full material schedule, and are doing so at a later date, these become reserved matters.
Importance of Professional Guidance
Navigating the Reserved Matters process can be complex, requiring a thorough understanding of planning regulations and standards. Engaging professional architectural and planning services ensures that your Reserved Matters application is comprehensive and meets all necessary requirements. Our team can guide you through every step, from initial design to final approval, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
Ensuring Compliance and Success
Submitting Reserved Matters is a crucial step in the development process. It ensures that all detailed aspects of the project are thoroughly planned and approved before construction begins. By adhering to the guidelines and working closely with the LPA, you can avoid potential delays and ensure the successful completion of your development.

Reserved Matters applications address specific details of the proposed development that were not included in the original Outline Planning Application. These aspects typically include:
- Full Architectural Designs: Detailed architectural plans and drawings that provide a comprehensive view of the proposed buildings and structures.
- Access: Information on how the site will be accessed, including road layouts, pathways, entrances, and exits to ensure safe and efficient movement.
- Appearance: The visual aspects of the development, including the design, style, materials, and colour schemes to be used.
- Landscaping: Plans for the external spaces, including gardens, parks, trees, and other plantings, as well as hard landscaping elements like paths and driveways.
- Layout: The arrangement of buildings, spaces, and other features within the site, ensuring that the development is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
- Scale: The height, width, and overall size of buildings and structures, ensuring they are appropriate for the site and surrounding area.
Reserved Matters usually have to be submitted no later than 3 years from the date when outline planning permission has been granted. However, they do not have to be submitted at the same time. It is essential to submit Reserved Matters in accordance with any conditions that may have been imposed on the outline planning permission. All Reserved Matters must be approved before any work can commence, as outline planning permission alone does not grant approval to start construction.
The submission of Reserved Matters typically involves preparing and submitting detailed plans and documents to the local planning authority (LPA). This process includes:
- Preparation: Engaging with architects, planners, and other professionals to develop detailed designs and plans that align with the approved outline planning permission.
- Consultation: Discussing the proposed details with the LPA and other stakeholders to address any potential concerns or requirements.
- Submission: Providing comprehensive documentation, including drawings, reports, and impact assessments, to the LPA for review.
- Review and Approval: The LPA reviews the submission, consults with relevant parties, and determines whether the proposed details are acceptable. This may involve conditions or amendments to the original plans.
