Planning Appeal

In case of a Planning Permission having been rejected b y the authorities, where there is a dispute between the applicant and the planning authority whether sufficient information has been supplied to register and determine a planning application.

Permitted Development Rights

We apply for Permitted development rights, which are a national grant of planning permission which allow certain building works and changes of use to be carried out without having to make a planning application. In this case there is no waiting time of eight weeks.

Planning Application

We apply for Planning permission or developmental approval which refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion, and sometimes for demolition, in some jurisdictions. It is usually given in the form of a building permit. Waiting times for the application are around eight weeks.

Structural Designs and Calculations

We do the math behind your building's ability to stay upright. The engineers use them to determine the loads that a building must withstand and the properties of members that comprise its structure

Feasibility Study

We also specialise in carrying out an assessment of whether the project will be feasible. The purpose of feasibility studies is to establish whether the project is financially or practically viable.

Mechanical and Electrical Designs

We can include and tailor in Mechanical and Electrical designs which can include elements of electrical infrastructure,, heating and ventilation and any other electrical appliances and instruments.

Party Wall

We can help design a Party Wall along a property line dividing two terraced houses, so that one half of the wall's thickness lies on each side. This type of wall is usually structural. Party walls can also be formed by two abutting walls built at different times. Planning permission is not required to serve a party wall notice and, because you will have up to a year to start work once the notice has been served, it is a good idea to do this as soon as possible in order to avoid delays.

Building Regulation Drawings

Our services also include Building Regulation Drawings, which are a set of detailed drawings and construction details that are submitted to the local building control department and go into much more detail than the planning application drawings.

Site Surveys

We carry out inspections of the area where work is proposed, to gather information for your bespoke design or an estimate to complete the initial tasks required for the activities to be carried out.
