Architectural design and planning in Pembroke Dock

Covering Pembroke Dock

Homes in Dyfed

Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.

What is architectural design and planning?

Designing and building under one roof means the drawings are priced as they are drawn, so there are fewer surprises when the quote arrives. If you only need drawings and a planning application, we can do that and you are free to use any builder.

Planning and building rules in Pembroke Dock

In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.

We prepare applications to Welsh councils and check the Welsh permitted development rules, which differ from England's.

What should I think about before starting?
