Need Support With Your Planning Application?

According to the latest housing surveys, 25% of homeowners  (appr. 4.5 million people) – think planning permission is the biggest obstacle to getting their projects completed.

Unless you already have an expert planning team full of architects designing your project and expert planners submitting your plans with a track record of obtaining planning permission, securing planning consent can be hard. Your project needs to be tailored to local planning restrictions, policies, and limitations to ensure that you align with your council’s codes.

2. Application Preparation and Submission

Apply for planning permission might be risky, and it becomes riskier the less you’re prepared for it. Preparing a comprehensive application that includes relevant forms, supporting documents, and plans, ensuring compliance with local authority guidelines. Our architects and town planners will provide you with drawings and supporting statements with correct technical information, which are prerequisites to getting permission.

3. Our Planning Experts Will Manage Your Application

4. How Much Does a Planning Application Cost?

This is because accurate drawings with correct technical information are a prerequisite to both getting permission and being able to build what you get permission for. Planning consultants at Homz have full knowledge of the ever-changing planning policies and building regulations that any project will be subject to.

Case Study: Planning Permission for Change of Use From Single Dwellinghouse C3 to Care Home C2 in London Borough of Waltham Forest

The client instructed Homz to provide Planning Consultancy on their property for a Change of Use from C3 (Dwellinghouse) to C2 (Care Home) in London Borough of Waltham Forest.

Initially one of our Senior Town Planner has conducted a research within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to understand local policies, property planning background, and as to whether the local planning authority is applying any constraints on the proposed development of the property. We wanted to know if this falls under Permitted Development Rights or not.

Care Home Policies

Government policy is to reduce the use of out-of-borough placements and residential care. Under the Section 22 of the Children Act 1989, accommodation provided by local authorities for looking after children must be within the local authority’s area unless this is not reasonably practicable. This proposed change of use from a dwelling house to a Care Home conversion requires planning consent. While planning approval will be required, we do believe that the site location should benefit from a reasonable – strong likelihood of success in terms of securing the necessary planning consent from an Care Home C2 Conversion Planning Permission.

The property is well equipped and laid out to provide a high standard of living arrangements that can provide the children with independence but at the same time, the children have the safety net and benefits of staff care and support available 24/7 as needed within the property.

After the planning appraisal, our Architects and Town Planners prepared the supporting documents Architectural Plans, and Planning Statements. Please see the plans of this project in our Portfolio. Our team has successfully submitted and managed the planning application with the council. Following the waiting period of the decision, Homz has scored another successful Approval for this planning application on behalf of our client.
