Planning Permission in Kent

Planning permission is an essential factor of any changes to your house. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to assist you through the process of acquiring planning permission for your home extension. Architects are experienced with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding 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 part of your planning application, from creating technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with the local authority. They can also make sure that your planned work is designed to a high standard, creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will complement your current property. Although some alterations to your property are included in permitted development rights and as a consequence won’t require planning permission, you’ll still need to comply with building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your extension will make sure that any work you undertake will adhere to these regulations and be of a high standard.
