Planning Advice Note 68: Design Statements

2. Illustrations

Illustrations must be easy to interpret and relate clearly to the text. They can consist of a mixture of photographs, sketches, figure/ground diagrams, photomontages, concept diagrams, computer-based images and artists' impressions. The applicant may also submit models or photographs of models to illustrate certain aspects of the design. The aim is to explain the design approach, not to duplicate submitted copies of the drawings accompanying the application. The scale and format of the images will often depend on the required level of detail.
