H1: Permitted Development vs. Planning: My Personal Guide for Your Leicestershire Extension
Starting an extension project in Leicestershire often begins with a headache: Do I need Planning Permission? I'm Robert Drague, your dedicated Architectural Designer, and I'm here to simplify that for you. While Permitted Development (PD) rights allow certain extensions without full planning, navigating the fine print is where my expertise comes in.
My Personal Approach to Planning:
The PD Trap: Many homeowners assume they meet PD rules, only to find their eaves are 50mm too high or their materials don't match. As your designer, I conduct a thorough Measured Building Survey and a Feasibility Study to guarantee compliance before a line is drawn.
Local Authority Insight: I know what local councils across Leicestershire (whether it's Leicester City, Harborough, or Charnwood) expect. I manage the entire application process, ensuring your design is submitted correctly the first time.
Maximising Potential: When PD isn't possible, my Architectural Design skills focus on presenting a strong case for Planning Permission, highlighting how your extension enhances the property and the surrounding area.
You focus on the vision; I handle the permissions.
