When you choose our services, we will take care of preparing and submitting all the necessary documentation on your behalf, guiding you through the process and ensuring that your application is compliant and stands the best chance of approval.
With a proven track record of delivering successful projects, our team takes a personalised approach to each client’s needs, tailoring designs that reflect their unique vision and lifestyle.

Yes, planning permission is required for a new build home. Unlike smaller residential works, new houses are not covered by permitted development rights, so a full planning application must be submitted to the local authority. This allows the council to assess the design, scale, and impact of the proposed home in line with local planning policies.
