Planning

Planning, made clear.

Whether your project needs full permission or none at all, we help you take the right route — and prepare clear, professional drawings that give it the best chance of approval.

Planning permission

For work beyond permitted development — we prepare, submit and manage the application.

Permitted development

Many extensions and conversions need no application at all. We tell you if yours qualifies.

Lawful Development Certificate

Formal confirmation from the Council that your project is lawful — useful for peace of mind and selling.

Householder applications

The standard route for extending a home — drawings, Planning Portal submission and case-officer liaison.

Planning statements

A concise, policy-aware case for your proposal, in the language officers expect.

Design & Access Statements

A short explanation of the design and how it responds to its context.

The route to a decision

Five simple steps

01

Review your proposal & site constraints

02

Agree the design & prepare drawings

03

Submit the application & pay the fee

04

Council consults — 8-week decision

05

Confirm the decision & any conditions

We never guarantee approval — no one honestly can — but a well-prepared application gives your project the best chance.
