Planning Permission Services for Home Improvements

Many home projects require more than one type of planning approval. Whether you are extending your home, converting an attic, altering access, or seeking retention permission for previous works, our team provides straightforward guidance and the complete planning documentation needed to support your application.

We help homeowners understand what permissions apply to their specific project and manage the entire process from assessment through to submission.

Combined Planning Services

Home improvement projects often involve several linked planning requirements. A single proposal may include structural changes, internal alterations, or adjustments to access, all of which may fall under different planning rules.

We offer a coordinated approach for homeowners who need a combination of permissions, ensuring all elements are assessed together and submitted as one clear, comprehensive application. The range of services we support is outlined below.

Retention Applications

For works completed without prior planning permission, we prepare accurate as-built drawings and supporting documents to regularise the development.

Attic Conversions

Where attic works fall outside exempted development, we prepare the required drawings, assess compliance, and support the full planning application.

Home Extensions

Single-storey and two-storey extensions often require a set of coordinated planning documents. We prepare site plans, floor plans, elevations, and all required forms.

Vehicular Driveways

New or widened vehicular entrances, boundary alterations, and changes to access points can form part of a larger planning package. We ensure driveway proposals meet planning and safety requirements.

Change of Use (Commercial to Residential)

For properties being converted to single-use residential, we provide feasibility checks and complete planning documentation to support a change-of-use application.

How We Support Your Combined Application

When a project involves more than one planning requirement, it’s important that each element is assessed together and submitted as a single, coherent application. We provide a coordinated service that covers the full process, including:

  • Review of your full proposal to identify planning requirements
  • Preparation of all drawings and documentation needed for a complete application
  • Clear guidance on the steps involved and any constraints to consider
  • Submission of the planning application on your behalf
  • Prompt handling of any queries from the local authority

Understanding What’s Included

Our planning service focuses on preparing the drawings and documentation needed for a successful planning submission, based entirely on your own vision for your home. You simply tell us what you would like to achieve, and we’ll translate your ideas into plans that meet planning authority requirements.

Please note that this service does not include a design consultation or the development of alternative layout options. If you need support shaping or exploring design concepts, we recommend engaging an architect before proceeding.

To get the best from this service, clients should have a clear idea of what they want to build or alter.
