  1. Step 1: Before

    You don't need to know the planning system inside out — that's our job. Before we submit anything, we carry out a full review of your project, research the local planning policy, and prepare every document the council requires. Nothing goes in until we're confident it's right.

Do I Need Planning Permission?

Many small extensions, lofts and outbuildings are permitted development and need no application. Others need householder or full planning permission, and listed buildings or conservation areas add their own rules.

Tell us what you want to build and we confirm the route in writing before you spend money on drawings.

Do I Need An Architect?

For most applications you need clear, accurate drawings rather than a big design fee. Our architects prepare planning drawings that match what councils ask for, and building regulation drawings when you are ready to build.

Will My Neighbours Cause A Problem?

The council writes to your neighbours anyway. A short conversation before you apply avoids surprises, and most objections are easier to answer early.
