PLANNING
SERVICES

Country house near Haslemere, Surrey
Replacement home in Headley, East Hampshire, approved using a permitted development fallback

PERMITTED
DEVELOPMENT

Many extensions, loft conversions and outbuildings need no planning application at all. We check what your house can do under permitted development, confirm it with a Lawful Development Certificate where it matters, and use those rights to strengthen a bigger scheme.

NEW HOMES &
DEVELOPMENT

New homes, replacement homes and small developments of two to nine homes. We appraise the site first, so you know its potential and its constraints before you buy or commit, then take the scheme through planning.

PLANNING
APPEALS

Refused? A revised application is often quicker, but where the case is strong an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate can succeed. We tell you honestly which route gives the best chance, and work to the deadlines that apply.
