Architectural Solutions has an excellent track record in Cornwall in obtaining planning permission for new build projects, especially one-off designs for houses.
Our usual practice is to start with an initial consultation to identify and clarify exactly what you need.
The next step is to contact your local authority planning department to see if what you have in mind is likely to be approved.
We will often recommend a 'Pre-application Enquiry', an inexpensive sketch proposal put forward to ensure that the planners are likely to approve our ideas, prior to an application, so that you don't waste money on plans that won't be approved.

We bring a creative approach to the challenge of finding new uses for old buildings, whether it is converting large houses to flats and apartments, cafes to homes, stables and workshops to holiday accommodation, or offices to residential.
If you have a building that needs re-thinking, give us a call.
We may be able to help you convert it to your advantage.
Obtaining change of use will be necessary and it may well be that we suggest a Pre-Application enquiry to identify just what the Planning Authority will allow.

We have recently designed dramatic changes to existing houses to make them into homes for the modern age, creating basements, dormers and new roof shapes to totally uplift what were tired examples of 1960's and 70's buildings.
This can often involve new roof materials and cladding while gutting interiors to create well proportioned living spaces within existing buildings.
Such makeovers are expensive, but can enable you to create the home of your dreams without moving.
