Architectural design and planning in Wembley

Homeowners in Wembley can get architectural design and planning from one company: the design, the paperwork and the building work sit with us rather than with three separate firms.

Covering Wembley

We work in Wembley (HA0) and the places around it, including Brent, Harrow and Greenford.

Homes in London

Terraced houses dominate many London neighbourhoods, so most projects involve shared walls, narrow access and a party wall process. Conservation areas are widespread, and some boroughs have their own mansard and basement guidance.

What goes into architectural design and planning?

Architectural design and planning covers everything before building starts: a measured survey of the house, design options, planning or permitted development drawings, the application itself, building regulations drawings and structural calculations. We offer it on its own or as part of a design-and-build project.

  • Measured survey of the existing house
  • Design options and 3D views
  • Submission and liaison with the planning officer

Do you need permission for architectural design and planning in Wembley?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

We confirm whether your project is permitted development, needs prior approval or needs a householder application, and prepare the right submission.

What can affect architectural design and planning?

  • Pre-application advice from the council can help on sensitive sites.
  • Conservation areas and listed buildings need extra design care and supporting statements.

What are the steps?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
  3. Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
  4. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
