How It Works

How We Progress Your Planning Application

A clear, six-step process from first conversation to planning decision.

Step 1

Planning Feasibility Review

We review your site, planning history, local plan policies, and any constraints to assess the likelihood of approval before you commit.

Step 2

Detailed Design Drawings

Our architectural technicians create full planning drawings—floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans, and location plans—all to council standards.

Step 3

Supporting Documents

We prepare Design & Access Statements, heritage impact assessments, flood risk assessments, and any other documents required by your council.

Step 4

Application Submission

We complete the planning application forms, upload everything to the Planning Portal, and pay the application fee on your behalf.

Step 5

Officer Negotiation

We liaise directly with the planning officer, respond to objections, negotiate amendments, and keep you informed throughout.

Step 6

Approval & Next Steps

Once approved, we explain planning conditions, advise on Building Regulations, and help you move confidently to the construction phase.
