Planning permission is an essential requirement of any extensions to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to guide you through the process of securing planning permission for your home extension. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding of the requirements and restrictions both country wide and in your local area. The requirements for planning permission do change among local authorities, and they will take into consideration things like the design of the properties in the area, parking requirements, and the needs of neighbouring properties, among other aspects. Furthermore, planning permission requirements are more restrictive in conservation areas or if your property is a listed building. Architects can help with every aspect of your planning application, from creating technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with the local authority. They can also ensure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will suit your current property. Although some alterations to your house are covered by permitted development rights and therefore won't need planning permission, you'll still need to conform to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draft the plans for your extension will guarantee that any work you undertake will conform to these regulations and be of a high standard.

Helmsdale is a village on the east coast of Sutherland, in the Highland council region of Scotland. The village is on the A9 road, at a crossroads with the A897, and has a railway station on the Far North Line. Buses operate approximately every 2 hours Mondays-Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays from Helmsdale to Brora, Golspie, Dornoch, Tain and Inverness in the south and Berriedale, Dunbeath, Halkirk, Thurso and Scrabster in the north. West Helmsdale lies across the river from the main village above the train station. Old Helmsdale is immediately to the north while East Helmsdale is a settlement barely a mile to the east. Helmsdale is a fishing port at the estuary of the River Helmsdale, and was when the home of one of the most extensive herring fleets in Europe. The river itself is famous for its fishing. Helmsdale Castle, the remains of which were demolished in the 1970s in order to build the new A9 road bridge, was the area of the murder of the 11th Earl of Sutherland in 1567. The Earl and his Countess Marie Seton were poisoned by Isobel Sinclair. The modern village was planned in 1814 to resettle locals that had actually been removed from the surrounding straths as part of the Highland Clearances. Facilities in Helmsdale include an independent hostel, a heritage centre, an art gallery, and an inn. Helmsdale is widely known for its Highland Games which are held on the third Saturday in August yearly. Best known is the evening Marquee Dance when the village population of 700 more than doubles as a result of visitors attending the dance. Helmsdale is additionally home to Bunillidh Thistle F.C. and Helmsdale United. For all of your home makeovers, make sure to find respected experts in Helmsdale to make certain of quality.
