Unfortunately, no Architect can guarantee planning approval (but fortunately, we have a good track record). An experienced Architect will give you candid advice and use his or her skills and experience to give your project the best chance of securing an approval. We will also monitor the application and liaise with the case officer mid-application to check on progress and see if we’re on track for an approval. We also work closely with Planning Consultants on larger, more contentious projects when required.
Please note, planning departments take eight weeks from validation to determine a householder planning application.
See '“Hooray for Permitted Development” for information about extensions and loft conversions that don’t require planning permission.
