Planning Application

Strategic planning drawings and permission strategies for residential and commercial projects across Birmingham. We maximise your chances of first-time approval from Birmingham City Council and local planning authorities.

Securing planning permission is often the biggest hurdle between your vision and breaking ground. Our planning application service prepares precise, policy-compliant drawings and design proposals that satisfy Birmingham City Council’s planning officers from the first submission. Whether you are extending a semi-detached in Solihull, converting a loft in Moseley, or developing a commercial site in Digbeth, we understand the local planning landscape  from conservation area restrictions to permitted development rights and we position your application for success.We do not just produce drawings. We assess your site’s planning context, advise on likely conditions, and pre-empt objections that could otherwise trigger costly delays or appeals.

  • Planning drawings prepared to Birmingham City Council's exact submission standards
  • Pre-application advice and site feasibility assessments before you commit to design
  • Experience with conservation areas, Article 4 directions, and permitted development schemes

General Question

Which local councils in the West Midlands do you submit planning applications to?

We manage and submit planning applications across all major local authorities in the West Midlands. This includes Birmingham City Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton, and Coventry. Because we regularly work with these specific planning offices, we design our projects to align closely with each council’s unique local development plans and guidelines.

Once we submit your application via the standard UK Planning Portal, the statutory determination period for householder and minor developments is typically 8 weeks. However, larger West Midlands councils (especially Birmingham City Council) frequently experience local backlogs that can delay initial file validation. To counter this, we ensure our drawings are flawless and fully compliant upon submission to get your project moving as quickly as possible.

Yes, absolutely. Working within heritage locations or historic conservation areas requires a highly specialized approach. Many of these areas carry strict Article 4 Directions that limit standard “permitted development” rights (such as changing windows or roof tiles). We accompany these applications with a detailed Heritage Statement and design with sympathetic materials to respect the historic local character, heavily increasing your chances of approval

Local planning authorities in our region strictly enforce the “45-degree code” to protect your neighbors’ right to natural light and privacy. This means your proposed extension cannot block a 45-degree line drawn from the center of a neighbor’s closest window. We design all of our residential layouts in accordance with local framework documents—such as the Birmingham Design Guide—to guarantee that your design maximizes your spatial volume without failing local light constraints.

Yes, we highly recommend our pre-application consultation service for unique, complex, or larger developments. We prepare an initial design package and submit it to your specific West Midlands council before the formal application. This allows us to get direct, constructive feedback from a local planning officer, flag any localized site constraints early, and fine-tune the design to ensure a smooth, high-probability approval during the official final submission.

Transform visions into architectural marvels. Let’s create together.
