Good design and planning permission for extensions are the first step to the home you want.
If your family has outgrown your home, buying a larger house is not the easy or obvious solution any more. As the country is deep in recession, most people do not have the money available to purchase a larger property and as the housing market is moving very slowly you may not be able to sell your existing home. Building an extension is one possible answer if you wish to increase the floor space of your home to better suit your needs. As well as being a cheaper alternative to purchasing a larger property, this approach has the added advantage of allowing you to choose the exact layout that you need. Your first step should be to seek out an Architect that is experienced at securing planning permission for extensions.
What are the first steps to obtaining planning permission for extensions?
Your first step is to think about what space you have and how you wish to use it. An initial talk with an architect followed by a detailed survey will start to give you an idea of how your extension might start to look. Once you have agreed this with your architect, they can draw the first set of scale plans. Once these are altered to suit your needs, the architect can draw up detailed plans and elevations. Once you are happy with these it is a short step to securing planning permission for extensions.
