Planning

ABP Architectural Services is an architectural and design studio, formed by a group of multidisplinary professionals, which carries out residential and commercial projects.       

We understand that for the majority, planning permission is something that may only be required once or twice in their lifetime and can be very complex and stressful. Often when we talk to clients they have read and been given what appears to be conflicting information from various reliable sources, so they are totally unclear what is actually required.

Our planning consultants have decades of experience dealing with all types of planning permission and untangle the web and explain in depth why there may be conflicting information.

For all projects, especially before purchasing a site we usually recommend a planning appraisal to find out whether your proposed development is feasible, does it need planning permission, what the costs would be and importantly the likelihood of success.

Should you choose us, our experts will take care of everything for you and provide you with regular updates throughout the process. If you have any questions about your project or would like to find out more about how we can help, contact us today and one of our experts will be in touch shortly.

A planning appraisal is an assessment of the development potential of a site based on planning policy, legislation and other relevant considerations.

When providing a detailed appraisal, we undertake research on a number of critical aspects that affect the development potential of a site.

Our experts understand the planning system, having spent many combined years assessing and promoting schemes and securing consents. Our expertise covers all types and scales of development. We use this expertise to review planning policy and decisions to advise on the prospects of development.

From this informed position we can advise on the potential development but most importantly the routes to achieving the required permissions. These options can include outline, full planning application and permitted development. This is the planning strategy to deliver the vision for the site.
