We are thrilled to announce that Planning By Design has partnered with Treeapp, to support their mission of planting trees to fight climate change and restore vital habitats for hundreds of animal species globally. As a business, our carbon footprint is almost zero, but we recognise the importance of doing more to help save the planet. To celebrate our first 12 months of trading we have planted 422 trees, one tree for every project to date. Moving forwards, we will plant 10 trees for each client that instructs us. This is paid out of our profit, so you don't foot the bill. By doing this, we hope to offset some of the carbon and climate impact of our client's new developments, to contribute to a greener and healthier planet for everyone.

We combine the realities of property development and pair it with in-depth planning knowledge to give you the full picture. Our experienced architects and planning consultants will help you take your design from conception to completion.
One of the reasons our customers love working with us is that we are there every step of the way and have the ability to aid with all aspects of your project. We offer as much or as little help as you need.
We offer a planning appraisal service, where you can find out the feasibility of your project in just one day. This service can take up to 8 weeks if you wish to include a council pre-application enquiry. Assuming your project is feasible, only a qualified architectural planner knows what the design would need to be to meet the planning policies and get planning approval.
At Planning By Design, we ensure all of our customers are guaranteed architectural and planning consultancy services of the highest quality. Our creative approach and dedication to providing quality solutions are designed to get the most out of your project.
What’s more, we use BIM modelling technology as part of our consultancy process, allowing you to see a clear model of your design before it’s built. Being able to visualise the overall layout of your design allows for subtle changes to be made and for feedback to be provided.
We recognise that every construction project comes with its own constraints, whether in terms of cost, time, or quality. That's why we make sure our architectural and planning consultants understand your priorities right from the start. This enables us to deliver top-notch services and oversee quality, timing, and pricing on your behalf.
Whether your project is at home or in an urban environment, we have extensive expertise in architectural, planning, and design services.
We are equipped with the necessary skills to realise your vision. We specialise in a variety of projects but have proven experience in extensions, driveways, conversions, conservatories, new builds and more from our portfolio.
