We only had sketches and scale drawings that we had done ourselves when we went into the pre-app meeting. Enough to have a theoretical conversation and to sell our vision. We also brought a friend who was a structural engineer to help with some of the lingo and speak on their terms when needed. And we knew we wanted to build with SIPs. We found this was enough as at this stage we were still doing our scoping and didn’t want to commit any funds to full on designs if the Council was just going to say no. I guess we were a bit unique in the fact we wanted to build either side of the stream, which was what we wanted answered. However if you’re seeking to infringe heights etc, I’d imagine they would want to know the extent of the infringements, which would require more design/input/actual data.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Ben

What stage were your plans at when you went in for the pre application meeting?
