Planning Permission in Hereford

Planning permission is an important aspect of any extensions to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to direct 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 limits both country wide 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 established by local authority policy.

Architects can help with every part of your planning application, from generating technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with your local authority. They can also make sure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating functional and beautiful spaces that will complement your current property. Although some alterations to your house are included in permitted development rights and as a consequence won’t need planning permission, you’ll still need to conform to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draft the plans for your extension will ensure that any work you undertake will adhere to these regulations and be of a high standard.
