Homeowners:
Planning Permission and Planning Applications

“Do I need planning permission?”
“Need expert advice on putting your planning application together?”
“What are my chances of success?”

We know how daunting it can be for homeowners to seek planning permission. You’re not alone – even professional house-builders can struggle!

We are here to help you through the planning application process - whether it’s for sound planning advice or to help you put your planning application together.

Need an architect? We can recommend experienced and qualified architects and together ensure you achieve the additional accommodation you need with the minimum of fuss and delay.

Local Authorities now operate a quicker ‘Householder’ planning application procedure for proposals to alter or extend your home.

Give us a call or email us to see how we can help you put your application together. We can advise on your chances of success and how to best present your proposal to secure planning permission.
