Planning Permission in Banstead

Planning permission is an essential requirement of any extensions to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to direct you through the procedure of acquiring planning permission for your home alteration. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good knowledge of the requirements and restrictions 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 outlined 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 ensure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will complement your current property. Although some alterations to your property are covered by permitted development rights and therefore won’t require planning permission, you’ll still need to adhere to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draft the plans for your extension will ensure that any work you undertake will abide by these regulations and be of a high standard.
