If your project falls within “Permitted Development”, you will not need Planning Permission as such, but we would strongly advise that you apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness – this is not strictly necessary, but it will provide you with peace of mind that you cannot be challenged post-construction.
We will prepare and process the Permitted Development application acting as your agent.
Where Full Planning Permission is required, we will submit the necessary documents on your behalf, and will monitor the progress of the application and liaise with the Planning Department.
Should the Planning Officer requires amendments we will in most instances prepare amended plans without additional charge.
