Planning

Applications

Planning Permission is required before commencing certain pieces of building work. It is your responsibility for seeking, or not seeking, planning permission and if required, should be granted before any work begins. 

Feasibility

Services

An architectural feasibility study considers all aspects of your proposed project. Through our feasibility service, we are able to test and advise on the viability of a project before undertaking any real significant expense. 

Buildings Regulations Applications

Building regulations approval is required for alterations and improvements to an existing building as well as new buildings. For example, this may include electrical or plumbing work or replacing doors and windows.

Listed Building Consent Applications

Listed building consent is required if you want to demolish a listed building or alter or extend a listed building in a manner which would affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest.

Measured Drawing Surveys

Measured surveys involve taking measurements of sites or buildings in order to produce accurate drawings to scale. They are usually specified to an agreed level of detail, to acceptable accuracy tolerances, scale, delivery times and costs. 

Conservation Area Consents

It is a criminal offence to demolish an unlisted building in a conservation area in England without obtaining planning permission beforehand. Planning permission will be required for "relevant demolition", which includes unlisted buildings in conservation areas.

Extensions and Alterations

We work on a variety of extensions and alterations to both residential and commercial properties, with projects ranging from small single-storey extensions and loft conversions, to the complete redesign of properties to increase their size.
