Planning Permission in Andover

Planning permission is an essential requirement of any extensions to your house. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to direct you through the process of obtaining planning permission for your home extension. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding of the requirements and limits both country wide and in your local area. The majority of planning permission applications are granted, especially if you can establish that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions established by local authority policy.

Architects can help with every aspect of your planning application, from generating technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with the local authority. They can also make sure that your planned work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will suit your current property. While some alterations to your property are covered by permitted development rights and as a consequence won’t require planning permission, you’ll still need to abide by building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your extension will make sure that any work you carry out will conform to these regulations and be of a high standard.
