Planning Permission in County Londonderry

Planning permission is an essential factor of any extensions to your house. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services business to guide you through the process 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 nationally and in your local area. The majority of planning permission applications are granted, especially if you can show that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions outlined by local authority policy.

Architects can help with every area of your planning application, from producing technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with your local authority. They can also ensure 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 property are covered 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 draft the plans for your alteration will make sure that any work you undertake will abide by these regulations and be of a high standard.
