FAQ

A planning application is a formal request submitted to your local authority seeking permission to carry out certain types of building work or development that may impact the environment, neighbouring properties, or the area’s infrastructure.

Under permitted development rights, homeowners can often extend their properties within specific limits—typically up to 3 metres for terraced/semi-detached homes and 6 metres for detached properties. However, this can vary based on location and property type, so it’s best to check with your local planning authority.

It depends on the scope of your project. While some alterations fall under permitted development, others—especially those affecting the structure, appearance, or use of the building—require planning approval. Our team can assess your proposal and advise accordingly.

We offer a complete, integrated service—from initial concept and planning advice to architectural design, structural engineering, and project delivery. This holistic approach ensures better coordination, efficiency, and accountability throughout your project.

Most construction projects, even those not requiring planning permission, need to comply with building regulations. These rules ensure safety, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. We guide you through the process and handle all required submissions.
