Planning Permission

Once you are happy with your design proposals, Hayes & Partners will review the plans, elevations and details with the local planning department and/or conservation officer if we consider this appropriate and, subject to their comments; we will complete the scheme drawings and apply for a Certificate of Lawful Development, or Planning Permission (Full / Householder) and /or Listed Building Consent.

From initial consultation to application submission would usually take from 10 to 16 weeks, depending upon the complexity of the proposals and whether additional surveys and/or consultants are required.  Some projects may require multiple applications, which can extend the timeline.

Typically, applications take one week to be registered with the council and eight weeks to be decided, although significant delays are being experienced due to staffing issues at some local authorities.

We have worked on projects within various local planning authorities including Cheshire East, Cheshire West & Chester, Peak District National Park, Staffordshire Moorlands, Stockport, Warrington & Derbyshire Dales.

Once we have completed the planning application process, you then need to obtain Building Regulations approval for which we offer varying degrees of services.
