Planning Permission and Approvals

At Architech2Engineering, we provide expert Planning Permission and Approvals services to help homeowners, builders, and developers navigate the UK’s complex planning regulations. Whether you’re building a garage extension, converting a conservatory, or applying for a change of use planning permission, we ensure your project meets all requirements — saving you time, stress, and costly delays.

Do You Need Planning Permission?

Many clients ask questions like:

Do I need planning permission for a shed or summer house?
Does a conservatory need planning permission?
How big can a porch be without planning permission?
Do you need planning permission to convert a garage or build a driveway?

The answer depends on permitted development rights, location, and project size. Our team reviews your plans and advises whether your project falls under permitted development in England, Wales, or Scotland — or if a formal application is required.

Permitted Development vs. Full Planning Permission

Some projects, like certain single storey kitchen extensions, garden rooms, or pergolas, may be built without full planning consent. However, there are limits — for example:

Height and size restrictions
Distance from boundaries
Use of materials matching the existing property

We guide you through permitted development extension rules so you can proceed with confidence, avoiding breaches of planning regulations for garages, porches, or decking.

Common Projects That Require Approval

We regularly assist with:

Planning permission for conservatory and loft conversion floor plans
Planning consent change of use for residential and commercial properties
Front of house extensions and rear house extensions
Log cabin building plans and garden office approvals
Swimming pool, car port, and driveway planning permission
Porch installation and modern front door canopy projects

If you’re unsure whether your project — like a shed conversion, bungalow renovation, or two storey rear extension — needs approval, we provide a clear compliance assessment before you start building.

How Much is Planning Permission?

The cost of planning permission varies depending on the type and location of your project. Local councils set the fees for householder planning applications, and there may be additional costs for drawings, surveys, or appeals. Our service ensures you only pay for the permissions you actually need — and we maximise your chances of first-time approval.
