Planning

Are you submitting a planning application? Or need help appealing a refusal? The first step in any residential or commercial improvement or development project is establishing if planning is required.

At Henderson & Partners we can help in obtaining planning for a wide range of projects, including:

• New builds

• Change of use

• Residential and commercial extensions and conversions

Once we establish if planning is required the next step is to determine local planning restrictions, targets and preferences so we can tailor your project accordingly. We will start by discussing your project with you in detail to establish what input will be needed from the outset – saving you from any surprises later in the process. If planning permission is needed, to guide you smoothly through the process, we will either:

• Assign you the most appropriate member of our team of chartered surveyors and structural engineers for your project, or;

• Put you in touch, or work on your behalf with, trusted architects or drawing technicians  who will design and submit your plans

What can I do if my planning permission is denied?

Denied planning permission can be disheartening, time consuming and costly. With that in mind It is important that any appeals are processed correctly to ensure your plans are not turned down for a second time. We can help to modify your application so that meets the needs of your local planning office.
