What We Do

  • Quite a lot can be achieved without formal planning consent under the rules for a ‘Permitted Development’.

    We can advise on what may be possible and complete the designs for you.

    Where the project can be completed within the rules for a ‘Permitted Development’ – we would still advise producing a full design and also to submit an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development.

    Permitted developments still need to be designed to comply with Building Regulations and almost always need structural calculation.

  • Full drawings of existing & proposed floor plans, elevations and sections, submitting the application and any amendments called for by planners.

    Some applications may also need topographic surveys, ecological surveys, contamination reports, flood risk assessments, tree surveys and protection plans. WE can discuss whether any of these is likely on your project.

  • If the final design includes major changes to the main structural elements then you may need structural Calculations, the cost of these calculations will vary with the size and design of the works. Your quotation will include guidance on this part of the work.

Further case studies are available upon request. Please provide some information on your project or goals and we’ll move the conversation on from there.
