A lot of extension designs look great on paper.

Getting them through planning is a different matter.

What a design looks like and what a council will approve aren't always the same thing.

Planning officers have a specific set of things they're looking at.

And if your design doesn't account for them, it shows up in the decision.

We design with that in mind from the start.

Every set of plans is built around what your local council looks for, what gets flagged, and how to present a design that lands well.

Which is why we can offer a Planning Approval Guarantee.

If your application gets refused and you've followed our consultation advice, you get revisions, monitoring and resubmission at no extra cost to Plans2Extend.

You don't carry that risk. We do.

If you want planning handled properly from day one, give us a call.

Permitted Development is worth understanding properly.

It allows certain building work to go ahead without full planning permission.

Things like single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions, and some outbuildings, as long as they meet specific size and design criteria.

And those criteria matter.

Too big, too tall, too close to the boundary, and you'll need planning permission regardless.

And Permitted Development doesn't mean skipping Building Control either.

Structure, drainage, insulation, fire safety, those still need sign-off.

The rules are more nuanced than they first appear.

If you're not sure whether your project qualifies, give us a call before anything starts.

We'll tell you exactly where you stand, whether that's Permitted Development, full planning permission, or somewhere in between.

There's a point where you've done enough research to know you want to extend, but not quite enough to know what to do next.

That's exactly when a conversation helps.

Not because you need to have everything figured out first.

Because you don't.

We'll look at your property, talk through what you're hoping to achieve, and give you a clear picture of what needs to happen and in what order.

You'll walk away knowing your next step.

One clear, sensible thing to do next, rather than another evening of open tabs and unanswered questions.

Whenever you're ready, give us a call.

Before you get too far down the road with an extension idea, a few things are worth getting clear on.

Not because the idea is wrong. Just because asking them early saves a lot of time and money later.

Is it likely to get planning permission?

Size, position, property type, they all play a part. Worth knowing before you get attached to a design that won't get through.

Is the budget realistic?

Drawings, surveys, council fees, contingency. There are a few things to it, but knowing the real total early means no nasty surprises halfway through.

Is it actually buildable?

Some ideas are straightforward. Others involve complications that only show up when someone looks properly. A quick conversation usually answers this.

Nobody asks these questions naturally at the start.

They tend to come up later, usually when something's already gone wrong.

A discovery call answers all three before you've committed to anything.

You'll know if your idea is viable, what the realistic budget looks like end to end, and whether there are any structural complications worth knowing about upfront.

Give us a call whenever you're ready.

A builder started work without getting planning permission.

By the time the family realised, money had already been spent, and the project was at risk of being shut down entirely.

They needed someone to step in and sort it out.

So that's what we did.

Back to the council, across to the planning officers, and eventually, with a fair bit of patience and knowing exactly how to present the case, retrospective planning permission was secured.

Once that was in place, we worked alongside the builders to iron out the building regulations issues and get the project over the line properly.

Here's what they said:

"Immediately on meeting Chris, who made himself available as soon as possible, we felt reassured. Jenna and Ryan were relentless in chasing down a result for us. They truly felt like trusted friends during a crisis."

Getting into a situation like this is stressful. Getting out of it is possible.

If you're dealing with something similar, give us a call.

Extension processes can feel like a bit of a mystery until you're in one.

So here's exactly what it looks like with us.

A discovery call where we look at your property, talk through what you're hoping to achieve, and give you honest answers about what's realistic.

Design and drawings, delivered within 28 days of your survey.

Planning approval, handled by people who know your local council and design with approval in mind from day one.

Building Control, managed throughout the build so nothing gets missed.

And when you're ready to build, we're still involved. Answering questions, supporting your builder, making sure what gets built matches what was designed.

From that first conversation to being ready to build, the whole process is handled.

If you want to understand what that looks like for your specific project, give us a call.

Finding a good builder and locking in a start date is one of the hardest parts of the process.

The last thing you want is late drawings costing you that slot.

Once a builder fills it with someone else, you're back to square one.

And it doesn't stop there.

Planning submission gets pushed back, Building Control follows, and everything that was lined up shifts.

We guarantee your first draft drawings within 28 days of your survey.

Because in a process where timing matters at every stage, the drawings are the thing that gets everything else moving.

Fast, clear, buildable drawings. Guaranteed within 28 days.

If you want your project moving without stalling on drawings, give us a call.

Planning approval lands and it feels like the hard part's done.

In a way, it is.

But there's still a fair bit that needs to happen before a builder sets foot on site.

Building Control drawings need completing.

The structural engineer's calculations need submitting.

Building Control approval needs to come through.

Party wall agreements with neighbours.

Then there's finding the right builder, getting proper quotes, agreeing contracts, and locking in a start date.

That alone takes longer than most people expect.

From planning approval to breaking ground, you're typically looking at 6 to 12 weeks depending on the project.

Knowing that upfront means you can plan around it rather than spending those weeks wondering why nothing seems to be happening.

If you want to understand your full timeline from planning to build, give us a call.

Planning refusal. Two words nobody wants to see on an email.

But it's not the end of the road. Not even close.

Most refusals come down to specific design details, not the idea itself.

The extension is usually fine in principle; it's how it's been designed or presented that's the issue.

Which means there's almost always a way forward.

Most of the time, it's a case of revising the design, addressing what the council flagged, and resubmitting.

If you think the decision was wrong, you can appeal. Takes months, not guaranteed, but it's an option.

And sometimes a full redesign is the answer.

The important thing to know is that a refusal isn't a full stop. It's usually a comma.

If you've had a refusal or want to understand your options before submitting, give us a call.
