Are you planning a home improvement or self-build project?
We’ll quickly advise whether planning permission is required and your likely prospects of approval.
We’ll then work with your architects and designers to prepare and submit a compliant application. If you don’t have a design team, don’t worry, as we can put one together for you.
We’ll then manage the process with the local authority — resolving issues and keeping you updated through to the decision.
How we can help you:
- Initial planning advice on whether planning permission will be required, and if no the route to secure your permitted development.
- Prior notification applications for rear extensions and upward extensions.
- Initial planning advice on whether planning permission will be required, and if so whether permission would be granted.
- Householder planning applications for small scale projects like alterations, extensions, garages and outbuildings.
- Lawful development certificates to confirm whether planning permission is required.
- Full planning applications for garden extensions, replacement dwellings and self build homes.
You can appeal a householder planning decision if you were refused permission for reasons that you think go against the local authority’s development plan or planning policy. Appeals must be made within 12 weeks of the decision.
- Professional advice on how best to respond to alleged breaches of planning control.
- Retrospective planning applications.
- Appeals against enforcement notices. If you received the enforcement notice before your application was refused, you have 28 days from the date on your decision letter to appeal.
