Planning Permission in Norfolk
Planning permission is an important factor 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 obtaining planning permission for your home extension. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding 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 laid out by local authority policy. Architects can help with every aspect of your planning application, from generating technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with the local authority. They are able to also ensure that your planned work is designed to a high standard, creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will complement your current property. While some alterations to your home are covered by permitted development rights and as a consequence won't need planning permission, you'll still need to abide by building regulations. Hiring an architect to draw up the plans for your extension will make sure that any work you undertake will comply with these regulations and be of a high standard.
