Planning
A party wall agreement is required if your home has a wall connected to another property on either side. It protects both you and your neighbour from potential issues arising due to construction work on the party wall. We can guide you through this process and connect you with certified party wall surveyors if needed.
Permitted development rights, a government scheme simplifying planning, let homeowners undertake certain projects without planning permission. This covers building works (e.g., extensions or outbuildings), changes of use, and renovations. While flexible, it’s crucial to understand governing constraints. Our team can assist, ensuring your project aligns with guidelines while enhancing your property and surroundings.
Permitted development is a streamlined, government-granted right allowing specific alterations without planning permission. Conversely, planning permission involves a formal process for projects outside permitted development. This requires detailed plans, subject to review by local authorities. Permitted development is a simpler route for specific changes, while planning permission is essential for more extensive alterations, aiming to balance individual property rights with local planning regulations. Our team is ready to assist you with either process, providing support from start to finish.
The duration to secure planning permission can fluctuate based on factors such as project complexity and the workload of local planning authorities. Generally, the process spans from several weeks to a few months. On average, our experience suggests approval times ranging from 05 to 08 weeks. However, please note that these timeframes are estimates and may vary based on project specifics. Rest assured, our dedicated team will expertly guide you through the planning permission process, ensuring efficiency and timely approvals.
Process and Timelines
The commencement of construction depends on several factors, particularly if planning permission is required. In cases where planning permission is necessary, we prioritize obtaining the approval first. Once planning permission is secured, we typically aim to begin the work within two weeks. However, if planning permission is not required for your project, we can initiate the construction within two weeks of confirming the details and moving forward with the project. Our goal is to streamline the process, ensuring a prompt start to your construction project while adhering to all necessary regulations and permissions.
Once we’ve had a thorough discussion to understand your project requirements and have mutually agreed on the expectations, the process of drawing up plans typically takes approximately one week. This ensures that the plans accurately reflect your vision and meet all necessary specifications. Our commitment is to deliver efficient and precise plans, minimizing delays and keeping your project on track.
The duration for plans to be approved as part of the Planning Permission process typically ranges from five to eight weeks. This timeframe includes the necessary steps involved in securing approval from the relevant authorities.
