Planning Permission in Leicester

Planning permission is an essential requirement of any extensions to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to assist you through the process 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 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 outlined by local authority policy.

Architects can help with every part of your planning application, from creating technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with your local authority. They are able to also ensure that your planned work is designed to a high standard, creating usable 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 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 conform to these regulations and be of a high standard.
