Where these do not face a right of way, planning approval is sometimes not required. We Will advise on this if it comes under permitted development. Although not strictly necessary, a certificate of permitted development can be sought from the Planning Authority for which a fee equal to the planning fee is required.
If planning permission is required a fee would be payable to the Local Authority.

If your property is in a conservation area different and stricter rules apply for permitted development. Planning requirements will tend to be stricter. Permitted development is restricted more.


Discussing your requirements and advising where appropriate.
Surveying the existing building or checking survey if you have existing drawings.

Draw up plans and elevations for planning approval if required.
Provide block and location plans.
Submission of application to planning authority (LA fee required).
If necessary we will employ a structural engineer where there may be structural problems particularly in connection with drainage or foundations and for the sizing of structural beams and timber joists.

Drawings and a specification are submitted normally electronically either for planning approval or for Permitted Development approval.
A fee is payable to the local authority for this. Planning approval cannot be guaranteed but in most cases a satisfactory conclusion is achieved.
