Richard Hutchings Ltd Is a one person RIBA Chartered architectural practice based in Knaresborough town centre between Harrogate Leeds and York. I have more than thirty years experience as an Architect mostly in residential domestic and conservation based work. The practice has considerable experience also of barn and other residential conversions working both for clients and developers. In terms of areas covered I work and have worked in Harrogate Knaresborough Ilkley, Wetherby & Ripon as well as Leeds York and Bradford.
I have worked for a number of local builders and developers over many years particularly in the area of small housing developments as well as barn and other residential conversions. I can either work direct for the builder or for the client. I am aware that many clients approach a builder first without realising that a builder can only price a job accurately once drawings have been prepared. I can also assist the builder with initial advice on whether or not a particular proposal will require planning approval and if it is likely to be acceptable if it does need formal planning consent.
