Planning Permission

Planning Permission is required by your Local Planning Authority (LPA) in order to allow your proposal to be assessed by the council. It is not always a requirement as some projects can commence without the need for planning permission. This is known as ‘Prior Approval’ and we can help with the drawings for that too (see our Prior Approval section for more information).

The Planning Application will comprise of a complete pack of Design Drawings, Block Plan Drawings and Site Drawings which are used by the council to assess the scheme based on the size of the proposal, its location and materials, its relative scale in comparison to the local surroundings and other important information which shows the viability of the scheme in its context.

Planning Applications usually take up to 13 weeks from initial submission to be assessed. During this time, Wish Architects will administer the application in liaison with your local council to ensure everything is being resolved as necessary. We will keep you informed throughout this time of any changes to the workload based on Planners’ comments and requests.

All additional work to your drawings during the Planning process (under the agreed scope of services) are included within the fixed price offered by Wish Architects for the work, so you can be rest assured there’ll be no nasty surprises when you appoint us as your Architects.

Full planning is an essential part of any architectural project and involves the submission of detailed planning applications to the relevant authorities. At Wish Architects, we have extensive experience in navigating the planning process and helping our clients to obtain the necessary approvals for their projects.

The full planning process can be complex and time-consuming, and it’s essential to have a team of experts who can guide you through the process. At Wish Architects, we work closely with our clients to understand their specific requirements and develop a detailed plan for their project. This includes preparing and submitting planning applications, negotiating with local authorities, and working with other stakeholders to ensure that the project is delivered on time and within budget.

One of the key benefits of full planning is that it provides a clear framework for the project, outlining the specific requirements and timelines for each stage of the process. This allows our clients to have a clear understanding of what to expect and helps to ensure that the project stays on track.

Another advantage of full planning is that it ensures that the project is compliant with all relevant regulations and guidelines. This is particularly important for complex projects that involve multiple stakeholders and require extensive approvals. By working with Wish Architects, our clients can be confident that their project will meet all necessary requirements and regulations.
