Planning Permission in North East
Planning permission is an important aspect of any alterations to your home. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services firm to guide you through the procedure of securing planning permission for your home alteration. 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, especially if you can show that your building work is sympathetic to the conditions outlined by local authority policy. Architects can help with every aspect of your planning application, from generating technical and architectural drawings to filing paperwork with your local authority. They can also make sure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating practical and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will complement your current property. While 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 make sure that any work you carry out will comply with these regulations and be of a high standard.
