Planning Permission

If you’re planning to build, convert or alter a property in any way, you must obtain the required permissions before carrying out the work or you may encounter future problems that could have been avoided. Most planning applications will be determined within 8 weeks of the application being submitted. We’re here to help guide you through what can become a bit of a minefield, and handle all the relevant paperwork on your behalf.

Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the local authority will approve planning applications, but we make sure they have the best possible chance, with approximately 95% of our applications being granted permission within eight weeks of submission.

We are an Accredited Planning Agent with Bristol City Council. An Accredited Agent has a proven track record of making good quality householder planning applications and has met, and adheres to, a code of practice.

Building Regulations

After planning permission has been granted, your project will need building regulations approval. We can undertake the detailed drawings required to comply with current Building Regulation requirements and submit your application to either the Local Authority Building Control department or an Approved Inspector. We can also recommend a structural engineer (if required) and liaise with the building control department on your behalf.
