Planning Consultancy for Building Projects in Cornwall
We offer comprehensive support to guide you through every step of meeting the requirements for planning permission on your construction project in Cornwall. Our team ensures that all aspects of your application are covered, helping you navigate the process smoothly and efficiently to achieve successful approval.
🏡 Expert Guidance for Planning Permission in Cornwall
As part of our comprehensive construction and architectural services, Trevaskis Design Solutions is dedicated to assisting you with the requirements for obtaining planning permission for your construction project in Cornwall.
Before applying for planning permission for your new or existing property in Cornwall, we will meet with you on-site to discuss your plans and specific requirements. During this consultation, we will assess whether your development aligns with the relevant legislation, including:
- The Town and Country Planning Act (1990)
- Statutory Instrument 2362 (2008)
🏡 Determining Your Planning Permission Requirements
The first step in your project is determining whether planning permission is required. While the Government’s Planning Portal offers a helpful tool for this, we are also available to provide expert advice tailored to your specific project.
For certain developments, such as rear or side single-storey extensions and loft conversions, planning permission is often not necessary. However, these projects must comply with Permitted Development regulations.
To ensure the legality of your project before any work begins, we can assist you in obtaining a Lawful Development Certificate, which provides official confirmation that your plans meet the necessary requirements.
🏡 Planning Permission Services for Larger Projects
For larger projects requiring planning permission in Cornwall—such as new builds, renovations, conversions, and extensions—we offer a full-service solution. This includes preparing, submitting, and managing your application, along with all necessary CAD drawings. The entire process typically spans 8 to 12 weeks.
We will outline the required documents based on the specific type of building work you’re undertaking. Our service includes covering the Council’s planning fee as well as our own fees for preparing and managing your application.
To ensure complete transparency, we provide a fixed-fee quotation before the planning application begins, so you are fully informed of all costs at every stage of the process.
🏡 Ensuring Building Control Approval for Your Project
Once planning permission is secured, the next step is obtaining building control approval for your project. Building control ensures that your proposed extension or conversion complies with all relevant Building Regulations.
This approval is typically granted if your project meets the required standards. However, non-compliance with Building Regulations can result in significant fines. To avoid any issues, we will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that every aspect of your project adheres to the regulations and is fully compliant.
