Pre-Application Advice - Plan with Confidence  

 

Before submitting a full planning application, many clients benefit from seeking Pre-Application Advice. At Architecture North, we provide clear, strategic guidance to help you understand how planning policies may affect your project. By engaging with local planning authorities early, we identify potential challenges, outline opportunities, and give you the best chance of gaining approval the first time.

Our team uses its technical expertise and local knowledge to assess feasibility, highlight risks, and prepare a tailored strategy. This early step not only saves time and money but also ensures your proposal is well-positioned for a smoother planning process.

 
 

Our Pre-Application Advice Process.

  • Initial Consultation – We begin by discussing your vision, goals, and project requirements to shape the right approach.

  • Site & Policy Review – Our team carefully reviews the site, local planning policies, and any potential constraints.

  • Preparation of Supporting Material – We create outline drawings, sketches, or proposals to present your project clearly.

  • Engagement with the Planning Authority – We liaise with the council to gain valuable early feedback.

  • Feedback Assessment – We analyse the planning officer’s response and advise on opportunities, risks, and refinements.

  • Next Steps Guidance – We provide a clear roadmap to help you move forward with confidence towards planning approval.
