Planning Permission in Banbury

Planning permission is an essential requirement of any alterations to your property. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services business to direct you through the process of securing planning permission for your home extension. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good knowledge of the requirements and limitations both country wide and in your local area. The majority of planning permission applications are granted, particularly if you can demonstrate 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 filing paperwork with your local authority. They can also make sure that your planned work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and beautiful spaces that will complement your current property. While some alterations to your home are allowed by permitted development rights and as a consequence won’t require planning permission, you’ll still need to adhere to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your alteration will make sure that any work you carry out will abide by these regulations and be of a high standard.
