Frequently Asked Questions 

Clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most.

You need planning permission if your project goes beyond what’s allowed under Permitted Development or affects the external appearance, size, or use of your property. Most extensions, conversions, outbuildings, and changes to the roofline require a formal application, especially in conservation areas or Article 4 zones. We can conduct a quick feasibility check to confirm whether your proposal qualifies for Permitted Development or needs a full planning submission.

Most planning applications take 8 weeks for a decision, or 13 weeks for larger or more complex schemes. Timelines can extend if the council requests revisions, consultations, or specialist reports. Our well‑prepared submission with clear drawings and policy‑aligned justification significantly reduces delays and improves approval speed.

A valid planning application typically requires existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, a site/block plan, and a location plan. More complex projects may also need sections, roof plans, design & access statements, or heritage impact assessments. Our high‑quality, scaled drawings ensure the council can assess your proposal accurately and without requesting additional information.

Yes. We handle the entire process, including preparing drawings, completing the application forms, uploading documents, liaising with planning officers, responding to queries, and managing any required revisions. This ensures your application progresses smoothly and stays aligned with local planning policy from start to finish.

Planning costs include professional fees for preparing drawings and documents. Council fees vary by project type (e.g., householder applications, change of use, new dwellings), while professional fees depend on the scale and complexity of the design work required. Transparent pricing is provided upfront so you know exactly what’s included.

If your application is refused, you can either revise and resubmit based on the officer’s feedback or appeal the decision. Most refusals can be resolved with targeted design changes or stronger policy justification. A professional review identifies the quickest and most effective route to turning a refusal into an approval.
