Common questions
Planning and architectural services in Leamington Spa.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Leamington Spa?
Some extensions may be permitted development, but the property's location, planning history, conservation or listed status, Article 4 controls and the detailed dimensions of the proposal must be checked.
Can you design an extension to a period property?
Yes. We assess the significance and proportions of the existing building, then develop an addition that improves daily use while responding appropriately to materials, setting and neighbouring properties.
Does a small HMO need planning permission in Leamington Spa?
Yes. The Article 4 Direction applies across the whole town, so a change from class C3 to class C4 requires a planning application as well as any necessary HMO licence.
Can you help with a new home or development plot near Leamington?
Yes. We can assess planning policy, neighbourhood-plan considerations, access, landscape, flood risk, ecology, heritage and neighbouring amenity before developing the design.
