Planning Permission in Pontypool

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 obtaining planning permission for your home alteration. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding of the requirements and restrictions 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 aspect of your planning application, from creating technical and architectural drawings to filing 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 home are included in 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 alteration will make sure that any work you carry out will conform to these regulations and be of a high standard.
