The application, handled for you
A planning application that's well-drawn, well-justified and submitted with the right supporting documents stands a far better chance — and we prepare and submit them in-house. Householder applications, design and access statements, supporting drawings and liaison with the council's case officer, all managed as part of the project.
We check first whether you even need a full application — much of what people assume needs planning falls under permitted development.
What we handle
- Householder planning applications — for extensions, loft conversions and alterations needing consent.
- Supporting drawings — existing and proposed plans, elevations and site plans to validation standard.
- Design & access statements — where the application requires one.
- Case-officer liaison — responding to queries and managing the application through to decision.
Part of our architectural design service — see also permitted development & lawful development certificates.

Planning Permission Applications FAQs
Do I definitely need planning permission?
Not always — many single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions fall under permitted development, with no full application needed. We check this first and only apply for full planning where it's genuinely required.
How long does a planning decision take?
Householder applications are typically determined within around eight weeks of validation, though it varies by council and workload. We manage the application and keep you updated throughout.
What if planning is refused?
We design to give the application the best chance, but where a refusal happens we review the case officer's reasons and advise on a revised scheme or the appeal options.
