Planning Permission in Kensington and Chelsea

Planning permission is an important factor of any extensions to your house. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to direct you through the process of securing planning permission for your home extension. Architects are experienced with submitting planning applications, and will have a good knowledge of the requirements and limits both country wide and in your local area. The majority of planning permission applications are granted, particularly if you can show that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions outlined by local authority policy. Architects can help with every part of your planning application, from producing technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with your local authority. They are able to also ensure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and beautiful spaces that will suit your current property. While some alterations to your property are included in permitted development rights and therefore won't need planning permission, you'll still need to abide by building regulations. Hiring an architect to draft the plans for your alteration will make sure that any work you undertake will comply with these regulations and be of a high standard.
