Have an idea for your home but no idea how to go about it? Unsure if you need to seek planning permission? Live in a conservation area or own a listed property & overwhelmed by the legislations?
Building & renovating can be extremely stressful with a lot to navigate along the way (& that’s even before the work starts..). We pride ourselves on our customer service & are always here for advice or to lend a helping hand to our clients. From completing planning applications with local council & managing building notices all the way through to full building planning applications with building control, we know it like the back of our hand. We also have a great relationship with our local planning authority & independent building control officers.
Certain minor changes to your property may be covered by permitted development which allows you to extend an existing house by a certain percentage & carry out certain improvements, without the need for planning permission.
For the majority though, including building something new, change of use or making a major change such as an extension, you’ll need to get permission for all work before it starts. To find out if your project needs consent, view this handy guide at FMB (Federation of Master Builders) of which we are a proud member https://www.fmb.org.uk/find-a-builder/ultimate-guides-to-home-renovation/planning-permission.html or https://www.planningportal.co.uk/permission/common-projects.
