Struggling to get planning permission for your home? 🏡
Getting planning permission isn't as easy as some may think if you're planning an extension, a new build or want to make significant changes to your property.
And if you've already had an application refused, it can be very frustrating, especially when you've spent so much time on it and have your heart set on a project.
But a refusal doesn't always mean the end of your plans.
Sometimes, it takes a fresh look at the design by an expert, a better understanding of the planning concerns or a different approach to the application.
We recently shared our planning figures from the last 12 months:
🏡 58 planning applications submitted
🏡 53 approved
🏡 2 successful appeals following refusals
And reviews like Mark's are a lovely reminder of why we do what we do. After three years of trying to get plans approved, he came to DMA and received approval on his first application with us.
Of course, no architect can guarantee planning permission, but we can guarantee to put our experience and knowledge into giving every application the best possible chance.
If you're struggling with planning permission for your home, or you're not sure where to start, please get in touch. We're always happy to have a chat.
