What happens next?
Once we have planning permission, we’ll examine the project in greater detail, likely involving a Structural Engineer and applying for a building warrant.
Planning Applications
Once you are completely happy with the design solution reached during the Feasibility Study, it’s time to get the ball rolling by submitting the relevant planning applications.
To create a new building or to make major changes to an existing property, you’ll need formal consent from the local planning authority.
What are Planning Applications?
To start the process, we’ll begin preparation of planning drawings that go into finer detail. We’ll also establish a liaison with planning officers to provide a comprehensive application with all the information they need. The impact of your project will be considered against local and national planning policies.
The planning system plays a crucial role in making sure that every project has a positive impact on the surrounding area. By preventing unsafe and inappropriate development, they can retain the character of an area and preserve sustainable growth.
As a thoroughly experienced architecture practice, we know the different types of planning permission you’ll need and the detailed requirements of each. Our detailed applications bring your vision together with planning policy considerations to increase your chances of a smooth planning application process.
