Planning Permission in Cardiff

Planning permission is an important aspect of any changes to your house. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services firm to direct you through the process of acquiring 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 establish that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions established by local authority policy.

Architects can help with every area of your planning application, from creating technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with your local authority. They can also make sure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating usable and beautiful spaces that will suit your current property. Although some alterations to your home are allowed 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 alteration will make sure that any work you undertake will adhere to these regulations and be of a high standard.
