Advice and support for extensions, loft conversions, garages, outbuildings and other home improvements. We’ll confirm whether you need planning permission or if it may fall under permitted development, then prepare and submit a clear application pack and liaise with the council throughout.
Not sure how to respond to a neighbouring application? We’ll review the plans, identify the key material planning considerations, and draft a well-structured objection (or letter of support) that’s clear, policy-led and focused on what the council can take into account.
A strong planning statement supports the council's decision-making and makes their job in approving an application much easier.
Need certainty that works are lawful? We advise on and submit Certificates of Lawful Existing Use/Development and Lawful Proposed Development. We’ll compile the right evidence (plans, photos, dates and supporting information) and present it in a format the council can assess confidently.
If your application has been refused (or conditions are unreasonable), we can help you appeal. We’ll review the decision, set out strong grounds, prepare the appeal statement and supporting evidence, and manage the submission process — keeping everything compliant with the appeal requirements and deadlines.
A refusal doesn’t have to be the end. We’ll break down the reasons for refusal, recommend practical amendments, and refine the proposal to address the council’s concerns. Then we’ll support you with a stronger re-submission and improved documentation.
From first idea to decision notice, we can manage your planning application end-to-end. That includes assessing constraints, advising on strategy, coordinating supporting documents, submitting the application, and responding to planning officer queries to keep the process moving smoothly.
Received an enforcement letter or worried about a complaint? We’ll review the situation, explain your options, and help you respond appropriately. Where suitable, we can advise on retrospective planning, a lawful development route, or supporting evidence to resolve the matter with the council.
