Planning Permission in Newtownards

Planning permission is an important aspect of any changes to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services business to guide you through the process of securing planning permission for your home extension. 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, particularly if you can show that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions laid out 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 suit your current property. While some alterations to your home are covered 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 draft the plans for your extension will guarantee that any work you carry out will conform to these regulations and be of a high standard.
