PLANNING PROCESS

For more details on the planning procedure please visit the official government website or Contact Us for a FREE initial telephone consultation.

Planning charges vary depending on the proposal to be carried out.
Please NOTE that it usually takes between 2 to 3 months to obtain Planning approvals from your local authority upon submission of your application.
Planning permission is usually required for extensions or alterations, such as a change of use or the addition of a loft conversion or dividing of part of a property to create a separate room.

If required, planning permission should be granted before any work begins. Should your development go ahead without the required permission, the local planning authority for your area may ask you to make a retrospective planning application and should it decide that permission could not be granted it may require you to put things back as they were.
MH Drawings can offer a full set of Planning documents including:

• Proposed Location and Site Plan
• Planning drawings including Proposed and Existing Plans and Elevations
• Design & Access statement
• Planning Application forms
• Revisions and Re-submissions where required
• Submission of the required Documents and Drawings to obtain building consent from your local Building Control. All drawings produced will be produced in accordance with the current Building Regulations.

Please NOTE: Our fees do NOT cover structural calculations and structural details that may be required for building control applications. We can however arrange for a Structural Engineer to provide these details based on your design requirements and submit these details as part of your application.

On completion of your building, MH Drawings may apply to Building Control on your behalf for the issue of the Final Certificate. The certificate confirms that the construction has been built in accordance with the approved application and current building standards.
