Achieving planning permission can be a minefield. It is a technical process that requires good communication with the planner, neighbours and client.
I have 100% success rate in my practice, I take a pragmatic approach to maximise the potential for my clients, while been mindful of the design guidelines and planning regulations.
The first step is to review the planning precedence for a location and refer to the guidelines and zoning to assess permissible development and review what will need planning permission.
If you want to test the water and assess the development potential, I can prepare a concept layout and site assessment to review with the local planner before you commit to investing in submitting a planning application.
Creating a planning application requires rigorous attention to detail, information has to be precise and cross-checked. The validation process of the application can be a difficult stage, as there are numerous documents to submit and precision is king.
I will lodge the application, erect the site notice and maintain communication with the planning authority throughout the process. The cost of the planning service will be based on the percentage of the construction budget or on my day rate, and agreed with you before depending on the complexity of the project.
