Planning Applications

Whether you're an individual homeowner, a developer, or a business owner, we provide expert guidance and support to help you secure planning permission for your projects. With years of experience and a proven track record, we pride ourselves on managing the complexities of planning applications while achieving successful outcomes for our clients.

Our Planning Services

We offer a wide range of services, from preparing and submitting detailed planning applications to managing complex change-of-use cases. Our expertise spans various application types, ensuring we can address your specific requirements effectively. Key areas of our specialisation include:

HMO Planning Applications

We have extensive experience assisting clients with applications for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). Whether you're converting a property into an HMO or seeking retrospective planning approval, we guide you through the process, ensuring compliance with local policies and planning regulations.

Change of Use Applications

Our team excels in managing applications for changes of use, including:

• Class E to MA: Converting commercial properties to residential under permitted development rules.
• C3 to C2 or C3 to C3b: Transforming residential properties into assisted living accommodations, children’s homes, or care facilities.
• Other bespoke change-of-use cases tailored to meet your needs.

Lawful Development Certificates

We handle applications for Certificates of Lawful Existing or Proposed Use or Development (CLEUD or CLOPUD). These certificates are crucial for ensuring that developments meet planning requirements, especially for existing properties where formal planning permission may not have been obtained.

Retrospective Planning Applications

For developments that have already been carried out without prior planning approval, we assist in submitting retrospective applications. These applications help regularise your property and bring it in line with planning regulations.

Full Planning Applications

For projects requiring significant changes or development, we manage the entire process of full planning applications. This includes preparing detailed designs, statements, and supporting documents to strengthen your application.

Prior Approval Applications

We assist with applications under permitted development rights, such as office-to-residential conversions, larger home extensions, and other changes requiring prior approval from the local authority.
