Abbey Design sets out to provide a comprehensive Architectural Design Service in the Surrey Area for householders and the smaller Property Developer. We specialise in producing Extension Plans in consultation with our Clients in order to seek Planning Permission and Building Regulation Approval for House Extensions. We aim to cover that sector of Surrey's Architecture and Planning Applications which are considered too small to be viable for the larger Architectural Practices in Surrey.
Services
While the majority of Clients require Planning Permission and Building Regulation Approval on various occasions other services have been requested.
A simple measured Survey can be made and the Building drawn up.
This has been done for several Clients who simply wish to have a record of their property, its rooms and square footage etc.
A draughting service can be offered for those who wish to make their own Applications.
In these cases the drawings are produced, after which the Client can make a standard paper Application or if they wish an electronic copy can be supplied so that they can make an 'On line' Application.

Most Architects and Designers have a design philosophy which guides them through to the finished building.
House Extensions are no exception to this process.
Some years ago, as technology improved, I started designing open vaulted roofs with roof lights.
This has become something of a trademark of Abbey Design.
More importantly, what started out as a design concept to give a WOW factor to an extension, has now developed into something of a personal crusade.
I become aware of the condition known as S.A.D. (Seasonally Affected Disorder).

Under what is called 'Permitted Development' certain extensions can be built without Planning Permission.
Caution should be exercised when establishing the facts and contact should be made with the local Planning Authority.
The granting of Planning Permission can never be guaranteed.
Even after detailed discussions with the Planning Officer issues could arise when the actual Application is made.
It should be noted that the preparation of the drawings will extend the total time required.
Other fees may arise such as those payable to Building Control or to an Engineer if Structural Calculations are required.

Once again we would like to offer our sincere thanks for your vision of what we could achieve with the extension.
We thought we knew what we wanted but your plans have given us more space, more light and utterly transformed the house without looking as if it had been added as an afterthought.
If you wish to use this as a testimonial please do and we would be happy to speak to any prospective clients who may want further assurances.
