At Extension Architecture, we understand that navigating the planning permission process can be daunting for many clients. That's why we are here to provide you with comprehensive planning permission information and support to make the journey as smooth as possible. Our experienced team is well-versed in UK planning regulations and can guide you through every step of the process.

​

1. Understanding Planning Permission: Planning permission is required for certain types of construction projects in the UK. It is the official consent granted by the local planning authority, which ensures that your proposed development complies with the local planning policies and regulations.

2. Types of Projects Requiring Planning Permission: Different types of construction projects may require planning permission. These can include:

   • New builds

   • Extensions and conversions

   • Change of use

   • Demolition

   • Signage and advertisements

3. Permitted Development Rights: Some projects may fall under "permitted development," which means they can proceed without needing full planning permission. However, there are specific limitations and conditions attached to permitted development rights, and it's crucial to understand them thoroughly.

4. The Planning Application Process: The planning application process involves submitting detailed plans and documents to the local planning authority. These documents outline the proposed development, its impact on the surroundings, and any measures to mitigate potential issues.

5. Our Role in the Planning Process: As your trusted architectural partner, we will assist you throughout the planning application process. Our team will prepare all the necessary documentation, including architectural drawings, planning statements, and any additional reports required. We will liaise with the local planning authority on your behalf, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.

6. Engaging with Stakeholders: Depending on the scale and nature of the project, it may be necessary to engage with local communities and stakeholders. We will handle any necessary consultations, addressing any concerns and demonstrating the benefits of the proposed development.

7. Appeals and Post-Approval Support: In the rare event of a planning application refusal, we can provide guidance on the appeals process. Additionally, if your application is successful, we will continue to support you with any post-approval requirements, such as building regulations and construction oversight.

8. Sustainability and Planning: Sustainability is increasingly becoming a vital aspect of planning permission applications. Our team is well-versed in incorporating sustainable design principles into projects, which can positively influence planning outcomes.
