Preparation & Planning


Preparation & Planning

Our experts can talk you through the complete design and planning process as well as any groundworks that may need to be completed prior to assembly.

 

Groundworks

On the delivery day it is imperative that our team can get easy and close access to the erecting site. They will work productively and courteously and leave the site tidy.

Project Completion
On completion, our senior erector will require you to ensure everything has been carried out to your satisfaction and will then require the final payment.

 

Planning & Advice Service

Our experts can help guide you through the planning process as well as providing elevated drawings for your planning application should you require permission. Contact us for more detailed information on planning requirements particular to your building.

Do I need Planning Permission?
Whilst this will not be the answer you will want to hear, in 99% of cases the answer is yes. We would always suggest that a telephone call to your local Council is a good idea. They will give you some good, free advice and in most cases visit you. Listening to their suggestions in the first place may possibly save you time and money. Whilst we cannot give you the advice that a Planning Consultant can, we are able to offer you a helping hand, based on our experience over the years.

How long will Planning Permission take?
Approximately 8 weeks.

Can I replace old buildings?
Yes, but always make sure you are building like-for-like. Do not exceed the original ground floor area or height. We suggest that you take some photographs of the original buildings.

How do I go about getting Planning Permission?
Firstly, you will need to ask your local Council for the necessary forms. These are not as daunting as you may think. The Council will need a scaled site plan, clearly marked with the position of your new buildings and six copies of elevated drawings. We can supply elevated drawings to you, if required. Finally, a cheque will need to be sent to the Council along with your application.
