In our experience, a good diagram can really make a difference in understanding a design or idea. When needed, we use diagrams to help clients understand the thinking behind key ideas. We also find diagrams especially helpful when preparing a ‘Design and Access Statement’ (which are required for certain planning applications - for example a new build house). Planners see so many applications and to help them quickly understand why you made certain design decisions or for example, to justify the limited impact of a design on neighbouring properties, a good clear diagram can go a long way to easing their concerns.
