Planning Permission

PLANNING PERMISSION ARCHITECTS

It’s quite likely that you’ll probably need planning permission if you wish to build something new or significantly alter the property you already have. Sound daunting? Don’t worry, at Elite Construction, we have experience in handling the process of applying for planning permission on your behalf. When we said we take care of ‘everything’, we really meant it…

Planning permission could be necessary if you’re seeking the work of a basement conversion or house extension, and can be a long and complex process if not handled carefully with the type of knowledge that it demands. Having overseen successful planning applications for a vast range of projects, we are well-equipped to effectively prepare your own planning application.

Regardless of how large or small the project is, we will devote ourselves entirely to your application and will do everything in our power to ensure that you get the decision you want. Deciding to carry out a home improvement project is exciting; how devastating would it be if a refused planning application was to spoil things?
