Planning Consultant Reigate

Successfully applying for planning permission

Some factors to bear in mind prior to submitting an application to a local authority planning department.

Any planning application can encounter problems. Unless you either never any building work done or restrict yourself to permitted developments then you will encounter the feared beast that is the planning committee. Getting what you want past them can be a complicated process, depending on what you want done.

When it comes to making any major structural changes to a property, then even planning departments recommend that you employ a planning consultant who understands the ins and outs of the planning system. On top of the advice or representation a consultant can offer, also get the benefit of professionally drawn plans, useful for yourself as well as planning committee requirements.

Many local councils also offer advice, but they will have limitations on what help they can offer. This help is usually restricted to advice on how the planning process works and what information you will be expected to provide. They may be able to tell you what is and is not obviously going to be awarded permission, but this is dependent largely on the policies of the local council and, to be honest, the personality of the planning officer.

If you are considering a new build or substantial development to an existing property, then you will need planning permission, you would be amazed at how much easier the process is when you can a professional to help you.
