Common questions
Planning and architectural services in Harborne.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Harborne?
Some extensions may fall within permitted development, but this depends on their size and position, the property's history and whether conservation-area or Article 4 controls apply.
Which parts of Harborne have additional heritage controls?
Harborne Old Village, Greenfield Road and Moor Pool are recognised conservation areas. Greenfield Road and Moor Pool also have Article 4 controls that can require permission for certain external changes.
Can a loft conversion be carried out under permitted development?
Many loft conversions can use permitted development rights, but roof-volume limits, the position of dormers, conservation controls and any previous additions must be checked first.
Can Hepburn Architects handle planning and Building Regulations?
Yes. The appointment can cover feasibility, design, planning drawings, submission support and a coordinated Building Regulations package.
