Initial consultation

I will advise and suggest how your aspirations could be realised.

Guidance will also be provided on which statutory approvals will be necessary together with any other consultants that will need to be appointed as the scheme progresses.

I will advise whether the proposed work can be built under permitted development rights, and if so, recommend a certificate of lawful development is applied for. Alternatively, a householder planning application, full planning, change of use or prior approval planning application is likely to be required. Works to listed buildings will require additional approvals.

I am also familiar with working on properties in the Welwyn Garden City Estate Management area and Letchworth Garden City Heritage Character area. Works within these areas are subject to additional restrictions and statutory consents prior to commencing development.

Following the initial consultation I will confirm in writing the project brief and a detailed fee proposal for your consideration.
