  • Consultation

    Properties within 75 miles of Glastonbury

    No charge

    Properties greater than 75 miles

    No charge in most cases

    All we ask is that we can arrange a time to fit in with other appointments in your area and that you have looked at the competitors first and are therefore in a position to make a decision on the day so that we can carry out the survey at the same time should you commission us to to carry out your design work.

To the survey of site and preparation of full plans including all elevations and floor plans showing existing and proposed layout; site and location plans and cross sections.

Notes on required permissions

  • Planning permission is required to show that the Council will let you carry out the work.
  • Building Regulation approval is to ensure that any work is carried out correctly and safely.
  • Planning permission is not always required but Building Regulation approval is nearly always required.
  • Planning applications can take 2 to 3 months.
  • Building regulations can take 2 to 3 months if you go for the Full Plans method (where every detail of the construction has to be detailed on a revised plan and hence may limit the choices for the builder). This can be either simultaneously with the Planning Application (risky!) or after permission has been granted.
  • Building Notice approval only takes 4 days and allows the builder to agree each stage of the construction with the Council.
