Prior approval for larger home extensions: how we help
Prepare a clear submission
The agreed drawings and application information describe the proposal and its relationship to neighbouring homes.
Understand the outcome
We explain the decision and its conditions before you plan the next stage.
Start with the information you have.
Send the property address, intended depth, height and existing extension details.
A clear written scope
Your quotation confirms the drawings, application support, revisions and payment stages. Council charges, surveys and external reports are identified separately.
Prior approval is not a way around every planning constraint. Work must meet all applicable requirements of the route.
WHY AFFORDABLE ARCHITECTURAL?
Good design.
Clear advice.
Approachable fees.
Founded by Ryan Skitt in April 2024, our service is built around helping people move forward with confidence. Affordable does not mean compromising the care your project receives.
