Planning Permission in South Glamorgan

Planning permission is an essential requirement of any alterations to your property. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services firm to direct you through the process of securing planning permission for your home extension. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding of the requirements and limits both nationally and in your local area. The majority of planning permission applications are granted, especially 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 filing paperwork with your local authority. They can also make sure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and beautiful 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 adhere to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your alteration will ensure that any work you undertake will abide by these regulations and be of a high standard.
