Planning Permission in Isle of Man

Planning permission is an important aspect of any extensions to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services business to direct 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 nationally 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 part of your planning application, from producing technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with the local authority. They are able to also make sure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and beautiful spaces that will complement your current property. While some alterations to your house 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 draw up the plans for your extension will guarantee that any work you carry out will adhere to these regulations and be of a high standard.
