What are the different stages of planning permission

If you are looking to build a structure, either within the boundaries of your own home, onto your home or on some land you own, you will possibly need to get planning permission. To start with it’s a good idea to check in with the architects that you use to make sure that you do need to apply. If you are looking at the erection of a shed then it’s unlikely this will be required. However if it is over a certain height, and is a permanent structure, then that changes everything.

Your best bet is to discuss with your Architects Poole based experts such as uxarchitects.co.uk. They will be able to advise you of what the requirements are. The first stage is to look at preplanning. This can be charged for but it does save a lot of headaches later. All aspects of the build will be looked over and what potential issues there might be along the way.

The actual submission of the planning application should be done by the architect themselves as part of the process. They will understand the manner and tone which the application should be phrased in and when it should be sent. Understanding the deadlines involved in an application is also essential. It’s likely that the architect may well know the council board members as well so they will know what they are looking for.
