We are a building advisory company that specialises in domestic and commercial alterations and extensions. Based in Halesowen, we cover a radius of 30 miles from our location, providing comprehensive planning permission services throughout Halesowen, Sandwell and the wider West Midlands.
We have a wealth of experience in planning applications and can guide you through the process from start to finish.
Planning permission is the consent granted from your local authority (typically your council) to construct a new building, make a major change to an existing building or change a building’s use. It is strongly recommended to apply for planning permission before starting building work. There are different types of planning permission applications available in the UK:
Full Planning Permission
This type of planning permission is for those who know exactly what they are proposing to build, down to the smallest details. This in-depth planning application means that everything can get underway once you have the green light.
Outline Planning Permission
Do you have a general proposal for your building plans, but are vague about the finer details? If so, an outline planning permission application is the best route. This type of planning application can give you consent in principle – ideal when building plans are in their infancy. You will need to provide your local authority with the full details of your project at a later stage.
Permitted Development Rights
Some small building projects fall under permitted development rights – meaning planning permission is not required. This is often the case for rear extensions that remain within your property’s perimeters. This is good news, yet we always caution clients to check with their local authority before assuming permission is unnecessary.
Unsure what application to make? Our planning services include tailored advice to both domestic and commercial clients throughout Halesowen and Sandwell.
We have over 40 years of collective experience in all aspects of building regulation, so we are well-placed to help clients with the intricacies of planning permission. This extends to clients who have had their initial applications rejected. We can help you appeal planning decisions and assist in modifying your plans, increasing the likelihood of permission being granted.
