Planning Permission in Hitchin
Planning permission is an essential requirement of any changes to your house. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to direct you through the process of acquiring planning permission for your home alteration. 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 demonstrate that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions laid out by local authority policy. Architects can help with every area of your planning application, from producing technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with your local authority. They can also make sure that your planned work is designed to a high standard, creating usable and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will suit your current property. Although some alterations to your house are included in permitted development rights and as a consequence won't require planning permission, you'll still need to conform to building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your alteration will guarantee that any work you carry out will adhere to these regulations and be of a high standard.
