DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR EXTERNAL WALLS

DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR EXTERNAL WALLS

One may be required to make minor or major changes to their external wall on account of various reasons.Under such scenarios,one must consider the planning & building regulation implications.

Please call Plan B Architecture today on 0208 4072472 to find out how we can help you with your planning needs for the external walls.

External walls

 

You do not need to apply for planning permission for repairs, maintenance or minor improvements, such as painting your house. If you live in a listed building, you will need listed building consent for any significant works whether internal or external.

 

Some of the elements normally required to satisfy the requirements of the Regulations for external walls are :
•    Decoration and renovation
•    Fire protection
•    Thermal resistance and changes to ‘thermal elements’
•    Weather Resistance
•    Weight (Loading) 

 If you want to re-render or replace timber cladding to external walls, building regulations may apply depending on the extent of the work.

Where 25 per cent or more of an external wall is re-rendered, re-clad, re-plastered or re-lined internally or where 25 per cent or more of the external leaf of a wall is rebuilt, the regulations would normally apply and the thermal insulation would normally have to be improved.

If you want to insert insulation into a cavity wall the appropriate requirements will be applied to ensure the insulation material is suitable, and that in the case of some foam insulants the risk of formaldehyde gas emission is assessed.

Walls can be constructed in various ways by using timber frame structure or masonry structure. 

Existing External Walls in Conversion Projects

Existing walls will need to be checked for their adequacy in terms of:
•    Weight (Loading) and structural stability
•    Weather resistance (including Damp-proofing)
•    Thermal resistance and changes to ‘thermal elements’ 

If they need to be upgraded, this may well involve the addition of a new internal skin – possibly constructed of lightweight studwork. The detail at the foot of the new skin will need careful planning to ensure that damp-proofing arrangements are sound and that any new timbers are protected from damp.

If you are unsure about whether you are required to comply, you may wish to contact your local Building Control body.

Works on External Walls in a Conservation Area:

If you live in a Conservation Area, a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or the Broads, you will need to apply for planning permission before cladding the outside of your house with stone, artificial stone, pebble dash, render, timber, plastic or tiles.

It is absolutely necessary to obtain the required conservation area consent prior to beginning any works. Going ahead without this may result in a fine or imprisonment, or both. 

Works on External Walls in Flats or Maisonettes:

Please check with your local authority prior to starting any works.
Note – If you are a leaseholder you may need to get permission from your landlord, freeholder or management company.

DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR KITCHENS BATHROOMS

DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR KITCHENS BATHROOMS

The most common type of extension nowadays is extending your kitchen. House built 100 years ago were not meant to accommodate the modern appliances that we use today .e.g.dishwashers, washing machine etc. Extending your kitchen to create an extra room can prevent moving to a new house and save you money in the process. As with all extensions, a kitchen extension will require detailed planning drawings to be submitted to the local authority for approval.

When it comes to house appeal, a new kitchen is high on the list of must do projects.Beyond monetary gain, this improvements can quite literally transform your home, improve your quality of life and when it comes to selling, provide you with the advantage over similar style homes that are presently on the market. 

A planning application for installing a kitchen or bathroom is generally not required unless it is part of a house extension.However, if your property is a listed building you should consult the Local Planning Authority.
Kitchen & Bathrooms in a Conservation Area: If your property is in a Conservation Area or in a World Heritage Site, depending on the type of works planning consent may be required. Please check with your local authority prior to starting any works. It is absolutely necessary to obtain the required conservation area consent prior to beginning any works. Going ahead without this may result in a fine or imprisonment, or both.
Kitchen & Bathrooms in Flats or Maisonettes: A planning application for installing a kitchen or bathroom is generally not required unless it is part of a house extension.
Please check with your local authority prior to starting any works.

Note – If you are a leaseholder you may need to get permission from your landlord, freeholder or management company.

Work to refit a kitchen or bathroom with new units and fittings does not generally require building regulations approval, although drainage or electrical works that form part of the refit may require approval under the building regulations.

If a bathroom or kitchen is to be provided in a room where there wasn’t one before, building regulations approval is likely to be required to ensure that the room will have adequate ventilation and drainage, and meet requirements in respect of structural stability, electrical and fire safety.

If you are unsure about whether you are required to comply, you may wish to contact your local Building Control body.

“I thought that applying for planning permission would be daunting, but PlanB Architecture and Yasmeen made the whole process really easy. They were reliable, arriving at the exact time for their appointment (unlike some other specialists who’ve let me down in the past) and were really friendly. Yasmeen clearly has a detailed understanding of the planning process and how the council approaches issues in practice, which was reassuring and helpful. She wasn’t remotely bothered when I had a last minute change of mind on the design and explained everything clearly. She’s also really responsive to emails. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yasmeen and PlanB.”
Martin HammondCroydon
“I appointed Plan B Architecture as design and planning application consults on a residential extension project in south London – the project involved complex issues with regards challenges in maximizing space whilst achieving a design that was cost feasible. Plan B provided me with an excellent and efficient service, working to tight time scales, and answering queries immediately. Yasmin was excellent, with accurate advice on design and planning application issues – she possess a wealth of knowledge in respect of planning and residential property design issues, enabled me to save a considerable amount of time and avoid unnecessary costs.
My application was successful, and I have no doubt in believing this was due to the fact that Plan B Architecture represented me as planning and design consultants. I would highly recommend them.

Ann Chapman (Minesoft Ltd), Richmond resident
"After receiving a high quote from another architect, my builder suggested that I use Plan B Architecture instead. The plans for a bathroom/dormer extension were drawn up in less than a week and quickly modified when I changed my ideas. Yasmeen sorted out the building regulations and the planning application efficiently. She kept me informed of all developments. I would certainly recommend Plan B and use them again." “I would like to say that I was very impressed with your prompt response and site visit. I felt very reassured by your initial assessment and knowledge after having received negative feedback from neighbours. The drawings appear to be to a high standard and although I am not an architect I found them easy to follow.Many thanks for your help”
Paul and ElkeHounslow
"Contacted Plan B Architecture after our original architect declined to produce Building Regulations drawings for a proposed single storey side extension. From the very first contact, till the notice of the granting of the Building Regulations approval, we have found Yasmeen to be excellent in all respects, highly professional, friendly and a good communicator. We would recommend Plan B Architecture to anyone requiring high quality drawings for Planning Permission and/or Building Regulations approval."
David and Carole CooperSouth Croydon
"Yasmeen and Imtiaz were excellent from start to finish and as well as providing planning and building regulation drawings, they helped successfully guide me through the planning process as a whole for the first time. Their advice was always timely and pragmatic and not only did they clearly explain various options available at a given stage, they would also give their views as to the most appropriate course of action in the circumstances, giving their reasons. They also provided very useful advice to enable me to proceed to the construction stage. I would highly recommend Plan B Architecture."
Christopher Winn (Lambeth)Senior Associate,Dentons
"My husband and I employed the services of Plan B Architecture to draw up plans for a study room extension to our existing property. Having never gone through this process before we were a little apprehensive about the size of the task. However our concerns were alleviated by the professionalism and helpful nature of Yasmeen from Plan B Architecture. When Yasmeen came round to conduct the initial survey she offered very helpful advice which helped us in being able to optimise the utilisation of space for the desired extension.

I would thoroughly recommend the services of Yasmeen and Plan B Architecture. We were extremely impressed by Yasmeen's professionalism and helpful nature"
Jaya & DarrenRoyal Borough of Greenwich
“Contacted Plan B Architecture for a side extension .must say the drawings were of high quality and good value for money as I was quoted twice the amount by other architects for the same work.I dealt with Yasmeen and she was very helpful and attentive to our needs.We got the planning permission in the end .I would be pleased to reccomend them to my friends.Very good value for money ".
E.Watson Thornton Heath
“We used Plan B Architecture to get us through planning and building regulations for our planned single storey extension. We knew what we wanted but could not give the planning authorities the drawings and detail they needed for application. We were in a fix . We called in Plan B and they provided soft copies of the application drawings within two weeks enabling us to proceed with planning application. They also did all the building regulations work and completed the whole design process in two months - 1 month quicker than estimated. I would have no hesitation in using their services again and reccomending them to all- they are fast and efficient."

They have great attention to detail, were very responsive, gave some great design suggestions, and were able to helpfully answer any questions we had throughout the whole process. Very professional - would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about how high the quality of work and professionalism I experienced with this company. The communication was excellent throughout and I hardly had to do anything when I opted for their full package - right through to the plans being approved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Yasmeen and her team demonstrated their ability by immediately understanding a complicated planning issue. Yasmeen was always quick to respond, produced plans within the short time frame she promised and was, generally, everything I could have hoped for. I would highly recomend her and her team.

I contacted Plan B Architecture regarding plans for a house conversion. Yasmeen drew up the plans and provided valuable guidance and advice on applying for planning permission in Lambeth. I was amazed by the attention to detail and how I was regularly updated on the progress of the application. I would definitely contact Yasmeen again if I required any architectural services.
