I am pleased to announce that both Planning Permission and Building Control Approvals have been secured for this project. This milestone allows my client to move from concept to commencing on site.


Understanding Planning Permission


The Planning Permission underwent a thorough review by local authorities. This involved consultations to ensure compliance with regulations and the concerns of neighbours. This approval confirms that my designs meet aesthetic, functional, and legal requirements.


Similarly, Building Control Approvals ensure that the plans comply with health, safety, and structural standards. This process involved detailed assessments of my designs and construction methods. It underscores my commitment to quality and safety.


Moving Forward with the Project


With these approvals in hand, my clients can now proceed to finalise costs with a builder and commence on site. This is an exciting time, as we turn their wishes into reality.
