PLANNING APPLICATIONS

Planning can be a minefield, lots of skill and experience is required in knowing how the current planning legislation and policies will affect your design. I can help demystify the process and guide you in choosing the most successful route for a planning application. In the space planning phase, the planning implications will be taken into account when designing the concept to keep it realistic, thus saving you money.

I can help with the following:

Certificate of lawful development applications for extensions and loft conversions.
Redevelopment and change of use applications
Full planning applications for refurbishments and extensions
Loft and garage conversion applications

Some applications are simple, and some require a lot more input than first thought, I will simplify this for you by taking on the following:

Dealing with local authority planning officers
Working with environmental officers
Commissioning contamination reports
Submitting plans to highways and traffic departments
Providing arboricultural reports
Keeping within conservation requirements
Gaining listed building consent
Working to flood risk assessments
Advertisement consents

Phone, glasses and architect completing technical drawing

With 13 years experience, and over a decade living in Maidenhead, I am uniquely placed to help.

Undertaking planning applications forms a large part of my workload, so with the experience of completing hundreds of successful applications, comes time saved in not applying for schemes that would not gain approval, or have very little chance of success.

I believe I am perfectly placed to match up your plans with the planning policies.

In some cases, planning will not be required due to permitted development schemes - I can let you know this very early on in the process.

Feel free to read up on the permitted development rights yourself. There are a few websites available, such as the government’s planning portal - click here.

If you require any further advice, or wish to contact me for a now obligation meeting, then fill out our contact form and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
