Ashtead Planning
Navigating design approvals from the council can feel daunting, but with expert help, it becomes straightforward. Think of planning permission as getting official ‘okay’ from the local authority before starting building work, ensuring everything is safe and fits nicely in Ashtead. Whether your design is from us, another expert, or even your own ideas, our specialist team is here to guide you smoothly.
There are two main paths to approval:
Designs by Us: If we crafted your design, it's already tailored to usually meet Permitted Development Rights, meaning quicker approvals. Where possible, we aim for 100% approval, assuming your project stays within these guidelines and you agree to our proposal. We manage the whole approval process, from paperwork to plans.
Designs by Others: Got a design from elsewhere? No problem. We’ll check if it aligns with local regulations. If it’s already compliant, we’ll prepare any extra needed documents and submit your application, simplifying everything for you in Ashtead. If we foresee any approval issues, we’ll suggest smart tweaks to boost your chances.
With our specialised expertise, we make the approval process efficient and professional. We ensure your project ticks all the boxes, avoiding unnecessary stress and delays, so you can focus on enjoying your Ashtead home sooner.
Backed by our deep understanding of planning regulations in areas like Ashtead, we ensure a streamlined, professional approval process, so your project proceeds smoothly and meets all requirements.
