Richard Veal Architectural Design provides an efficient low cost Architects drawing/design service for your Planning and Building Control passing of plans needs. I am able to undertake projects in all parts of Cornwall, from St Ives to Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, Bodmin, St Austell, Penzance, Camborne, Redruth etc. The cost to you starts as low as 500 for a simple planning application for your rear extension please call me for more information and advice. My work over the years has been varied from major School projects (for Cornwall County Council), Health care centres, Large retail developments, Student Accommodation blocks for 'Unite', general housing projects large and small, down to small kitchen extension, barn conversions, loft conversions and flat conversions.
There are Permitted Development allowances which in theory allow you to just go ahead and build on the side or rear of your house without Planning Permission. It would be a very brave person to commit thousands of pounds to a project without some sort of written permission. There are a large amount of constraints in these rules EXTENSION GUIDE and often it may be just as well to apply for planning permission as the drawings needed for both are the same. I would strongly advise the obtaining a Certificate of Lawful Development, this will at least give you the peace of mind when committing to builders moving in.
