Planning Applications
If you plan to build an extension, a new build or make external alterations to your property and your proposals do not fall within ‘Permitted Development’ then you will need Planning Permission. The Home Designers provide a full Planning Application service. This includes an initial consultation with you to gain an understanding of your project requirements.
Following this we will carry out a dimensional survey of your property and produce scheme drawings of the proposals. Only once you are satisfied with the drawings we will then complete the planning application and act as agent on behalf of you throughout the planning stage until Permission is granted.
Building Regulations
All construction works such as new builds, extensions, loft conversions, barn conversions and internal refurbishments will require Building Regulations Approval. The Home Designers will provide detailed drawings and specifications of how to build the proposed project in accordance with all current Building Regulations. We will also act as agent on behalf of you and liaise with Building Control direct to ensure inspections are completed efficiently.
