Planning Permission in Dundee

Planning permission is an important aspect of any changes to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to guide you through the procedure of securing planning permission for your home alteration. Architects are experienced 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, especially 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 generating technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with your 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. While some alterations to your home are allowed by permitted development rights and as a consequence won’t need planning permission, you’ll still need to adhere to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your alteration will ensure that any work you carry out will conform to these regulations and be of a high standard.
