With a clear concept in place, we take your project forward into the planning stage. We prepare and manage the planning application on your behalf, coordinating all necessary information to give the proposal the best chance of approval.

At the same time, we begin developing the design in more detail — refining layouts, exploring interior design ideas, considering materials and finishes, and looking at how the home connects with the garden or wider landscape. We also review budgets and construction options to keep the project realistic and achievable.

This stage ensures the design is coordinated, inspiring and practical, giving you confidence before moving into the detailed design and construction phases. We liaise directly with Local Planning Authorities through the determination process to give you the best possible chance of success.
