What We Do
We produce plans for extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms and new build, then consult with the local council and apply for planning permission on your behalf. We also supply Building Regulations and offer structural engineer and SAP calculations if required. In fact everything required to get you to the build stage.
From initial concept and architectural design through to approval for planning permission and building regulations, we manage the whole process with the local authorities.
We will advise you on all planning issues, helping you to decide which route to take – Permitted Development or Full Planning application and can provide a fast reliable service using the latest technology to speed up a process which has traditionally been quite slow and laborious.
Architectural Services are experts in permitted development and can advise if your project will fall within these guidelines.
We specialise in cost saving specifications that will save money on the build cost, offer a reduction in the contract times and reduce the environmental impact with typically less landfill and materials used.
If you would like to know more about the planning process, please download the document “Introduction to Planning” below, which explains in detail permitted development and the various planning procedures.
Other specialist reports we can provide include; SAP calculations, 106 agreements, design and access statements, heritage statements, site waste statement, flood risk assessment and where required a supporting statement for planning applications. Please contact your local office for further information.
