Planning Services
Planning permission can apply to a wide range of residential developments, from home extensions to changes in how a property is used. Our planning services are designed to provide clear advice, compliant drawings, and practical guidance, helping you understand what is required before you proceed.
What’s Involved
Our planning service is delivered in two clear stages:
-
Step 1 – Preparation of Planning Drawings
We prepare all planning drawings required for your home extension, based on a review of your property and the proposed works. To ensure consistency, accuracy and compliance all planning drawings for this service are prepared by our team. We do not accept drawings prepared by a third party. -
Step 2 – Planning Application
Once the drawings are complete, we will advise on whether planning permission is required. Where appropriate, we can proceed with submitting the planning application on your behalf. If planning permission is not required, or if you decide not to proceed, we will clearly outline the next step.
