How We Work

We undertake hundreds of projects each and every year. Our ever-growing experience has enabled us to develop our service to focus on delivering what really matters - our approach works and has become very successful.

1

Pre-Project Planning/Feasibility

During this stage, we engage in a phone call with our client via the details given to us using our free quote tool, to discuss their vision. We assess the site's conditions, regulations, and potential restrictions to determine if planning permission is required or if it falls under permitted developments. By carefully evaluating various options, we provide our client with the best course of action tailored to their needs.

The Site Visit

During this stage, our experts thoroughly inspect the property, including the location of manholes and utility connections. We also assess neighboring properties to understand their relationship with the proposed project, considering factors like privacy, sunlight, and potential impacts. This comprehensive evaluation provides essential data for a well-informed and compliant planning application.

Development Of A Suitable Proposed Scheme

In this stage, our architecture and planning team crafts a design that aligns with the client's vision, while carefully considering London planning guidance, permitted development rights, and relevant Councils' Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPGs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). This ensures compliance with local regulations and fosters a sustainable, innovative, and socially responsible project outcome in London's urban context.

High Quality and Easily Understandable Planning Drawings

This stage plays a crucial role in our architectural services. These visuals give clear communication, enabling councils, planning officers, and clients to understand and assess the proposed project's compliance with planning regulations effectively. This transparency fosters a collaborative approach and ensures a smooth planning process.

The Planning Permission Process

This process depends on the proposal type. For projects falling under permitted development, the timeline is typically around 8 weeks for approval. However, full planning applications, which involve more complex projects, may require up to 12 weeks for assessment and decision-making. Our dedicated team ensures that all necessary documentation and compliance are met to expedite the process and achieve a successful outcome for our clients.
