upfront

fees

We do not take a deposit. We take 2 stage payments. The  first isn't paid until all the plans have been completed and the application is ready for submission to the Local Authority.

The second payment is made ONLY

if the application is successful. 

What if the application is unsuccessful?

If we are unsuccessful and the application is refused, we can address the reasons for refusal and complete a redesign and resubmission. This will not incur any additional fees. If you decide not to proceed, no further payments are due. 

Our fees are clear. You will receive a contract which gives the exact inclusive fees before you decide to instruct us. Once the application is approved and you have Planning Permission we ask that the fees are paid within 3 working days. 

We don't take on every proposal :

We are only able to take on a limited amount of work. We choose potential proposals based on our opinion of it's likely success. If we think there is too much risk of refusal, we will decline instruction. This does not mean that your scheme will not get planning permission, it could be that we currently have a full capacity of work, or that in our opinion there is too greater risk of failure.

High success rate

​Our schemes are developed with reference to the Local Plan, and our application submissions are clear, detailed and include information frequently missed out - for example specifications for proposed materials for Permitted Development applications. 

Once an application has been validated and assigned to a Case Officer, we communicate to ensure there are no issues with the proposal. If there are potential problems with the application we can make any adjustments to help ensure success whilst the application is live.

High Quality Plans

The Plans usually show elevation drawings and floor plans of the existing property and of the proposal. Usually the elevations drawings show the front, back and one or both sides. There may also be a roof plan. These drawings need to be accurate and to scale, and show every room, even if the proposal doesn't include that specific room.

We have developed a unique way of producing plans, which show a level of detail many competitors don't. This is especially important for listed or ancient buildings, and help contribute to our success rate.

Modelling

3D from flat plans

A planning application almost always requires plan drawings to show the proposed development - these drawings show elevations of the building so that it is possible to see what the building looks like from the outside both before development, and after. They also show the floor plans of the building, again both before and after the proposed development.

These drawings are drawn to scale, usually 1:100, and are conventionally presented on a single sheet of A1 ( although these plans are rarely physically printed and are usually viewed electronically ). 

Whilst these plans are accurate and allow planners and developers to understand what is being proposed, they are often difficult for those inexperienced with plan drawings to understand and visualise what is being proposed. In addition, some proposals are so complicated that even experienced planners and developers may struggle to translate the flat 2D plats into a visualisation of the scheme. 

This can lead to a compromised planning application.

We are able to produce highly realistic 3D architectural models of any planning proposal. These models form a potent element of challenging planning applications, especially when the proposal involves a listed building. 

The models can be submitted physically as part of a planning application, or photographs of the model can be included in supplementary documentation. 

Even where the proposal is straightforward; for example, a simple rear extension on a semi detached house, an architectural model can be a great way to demonstrate a proposal to neighbours, who may not fully understand planning drawings - this can aid with gaining support and assuring others of the acceptable nature of the proposal. 

Architectural models can be produced to show any proposal to any building.
