Service — Planning Applications

Planning application drawings, prepared and submitted for you

Some projects need planning permission before work can start, separately from a building warrant. We prepare the drawings and supporting information your planning application needs, and handle submission to your local council, at a fixed fee.

FAQs

Planning applications — common questions

Do I need planning permission for my project? +

It depends on the scope of your project and the permitted development rights that apply to your property. We can confirm what's needed once we understand your project.

What's the difference between planning permission and a building warrant? +

Planning permission deals with whether a project is allowed to go ahead — things like scale, appearance and impact on neighbours. A building warrant deals with whether the construction itself meets building standards. Some projects need one, the other, or both.

Can you deal with the council on my behalf? +

Yes, we handle the preparation and submission of planning application documentation and liaise with the planning department on queries.

How long does a planning application take? +

Timescales depend on the scope of the project and your local authority's processing times, which we don't control. We'll give you a realistic estimate for the design stage once we understand your project.
