Planning Permission in South Yorkshire

Planning permission is an important factor of any extensions to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services business to direct you through the process of securing planning permission for your home extension. Architects are experienced with submitting planning applications, and will have a good knowledge of the requirements and limits both nationally and in your local area. The majority of planning permission applications are granted, especially if you can demonstrate 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 creating technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with the local authority. They are able to also ensure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating usable and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will suit your current property. Although some alterations to your home are covered by permitted development rights and therefore won’t need planning permission, you’ll still need to conform to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your extension will make sure that any work you carry out will abide by these regulations and be of a high standard.
