Architectural Planning Consultants

Navigate the maze of planning permissions and building regulations can be a major headache, which is where our planning and building regulation consultants can help.

From determining whether or not you need planning permission in the first place, to submitting the completed documents we understand the ins and outs of the English planning system.

Confused by Planning Permission Requirements?

Many building projects don’t require planning permission – we can advise if you do or not! If this is required you can trust us to handle everything from crafting CAD drawings to managing submission. We can also help you obtain a lawful development certificate before you proceed with any work – this establishes whether or not the project is legal in the first place.

To keep things transparent, all our costs will encompass both the Council's planning charges and our fees for handling the application. Before diving in, we'll present a clear, fixed-fee quote, ensuring you're never in the dark about expenses.

Once your planning permission is in hand, the next step typically involves acquiring building control approval.

Achieving this is straightforward if your proposed project aligns with the established norms, however neglecting these Building Regulations could result in hefty penalties. Whatever your architectural design project, we can advise on the building regs requirements to keep you compliant.
