Services
We can offer a half day design workshop for 300*.
This works well for modest extensions or simple reconfigurations for family houses.
Or a full day workshop for 500*.
This works better for 2-3 storey extensions including loft conversions.
We will undertake a basic survey and produce hand drawn layouts suggesting options.
Because this is done in front of you, ideas can be explored instantly and what usually takes weeks can be discussed there and then.
This results in an agreed scheme and a way forward.

I'm often approached to accompany clients on viewings before they make an offer on a house or property, to see if it is possible to extend it or reconfigure it.
For example, in Hale I looked at a ground floor shop with flat above, with a view to converting it back into a family house.
Once the client was comfortable with the opportunity, an offer was made.
I was then commissioned to do a one day design workshop, before exchange.
That way, the client can hit the ground running with building works when they are in possession of the property.

Even if a project fits within PD, clients often want a formal piece of paper for the future sale of the house.
For this you have to make an application on the planning portal.
Determination is within 8 weeks.
Not much difference.
The main difference is for that for a full planning application all interested parties are consulted.
This usually includes neighbours, civic society, highways and could include the police etc.
If your development falls within PD it is more likely to be approved.
You may need to submit additional reports for the full planning app dependant on area.

What is the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)?
DCLG intended it to "provide a new, flexible local levy on new development which local authorities in England and Wales can choose to introduce to fund infrastructure in their areas".
In other words, it's a tax on development in order to fund community projects.
What forms of development are caught by CIL?
CIL will be charged on most types of new development requiring planning permission.
There are some exemptions e.g.
In general, it is payable for the creation of all new buildings or works to an existing building where the net additional floorspace created is 100 sq m or greater (unless the development constitutes a dwelling).
