Write for the assessor

The assessing officer needs to find compliance quickly. Reference the specific policy clause next to the design value that satisfies it, and keep the demonstration on a single page where possible.

Anticipate the standard questions

Discharge point, flood freeboard, detention storage, water quality, sight distance and service clearances are asked on almost every application. Answer them before they are asked.
