FAQ Section

Here are some of the commonly asked questions I receive.

will my design get planning permission?

We can't say with 100% certainty any design or planning submission will be successful. However, of course with a good understanding of the local planning laws and respect for the AONB and considered and realistic design will have a strong chance of success. Speak to me to discuss your ideas and I'll give you my honest advice.

Can you work with just an idea?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, this gives us the best chance to create something viable, cost-effective and in line with your overall goals for the project. We can have an initial discussion on your proposed ideas and I'll give you my insights from 30+ years experience on how we can go about bringing it to life.

Can you work with my existing designs?

Yes that is fine and is quite common. We'll review your existing designs together and I'll then come up with amendments if suitable or alternative design ideas which may be more realistic or suitable given the local planning laws and your overall project goals.
