From an email correspondence or at an initial site meeting* I would be able to suggest if your proposed ideas would require planning permission or if it could be undertaken as Permitted Development.
The need for planning consent will vary depending on the site and local context – is the property in a Conservation Area and does it have an Article 4 direction in place, is it a listed building, is it a flat or are there restrictive conditions from a covenant or a previous planning consent.
If you propose changes to a listed building you will require Listed Building Consent in addition to any planning permission.
Following a design process or evaluation of your proposal, I would submit the relevant application to the Local Planning Authority on your behalf, including all necessary plans, supporting documents (such as a Design & Access or Heritage Statement) and reports, and liaise with the planners, responding to queries, throughout the determination process.
In addition to managing the design and planning process from start to finish, I can also provide a more tailored service to suit your specific planning requirement:
- Planning consultancy
- Retrospective applications
- Post consent amendments – non material amendments / variation of conditions.
- Written statements such as a heritage or design & access statement.
- Just drawings.
- Planning appeals.
