Planning and Approval

Planning drawings

Planning drawings are a crucial step in turning your architectural vision into reality, and at Pauline Stynes Architectural Services, we excel in creating comprehensive, persuasive documentation for planning authorities. Our planning drawings go beyond mere technical illustrations; they tell the story of your project, demonstrating how it harmonizes with its surroundings and meets local planning requirements.

We craft detailed site plans, floor plans, elevations, and sections that clearly communicate your project’s design intent. Our team’s deep understanding of local planning policies allows us to anticipate potential concerns and address them proactively in our drawings. We also provide supporting documents such as design and access statements when required. By presenting your project in the best possible light, our planning drawings maximize your chances of obtaining planning permission smoothly, setting the stage for your project to move forward with confidence.

Retention Applications

At Pauline Stynes Architectural Services, we understand that sometimes construction work proceeds without proper planning permission. Our Retention Applications service is designed to help you regularize your situation and secure retrospective approval for existing structures or alterations. We approach these sensitive cases with tact and expertise, crafting compelling applications that present your case in the most favorable light to planning authorities.

Our team conducts thorough assessments of the unauthorized work, preparing detailed drawings and documentation that demonstrate compliance with current building regulations and planning policies. We navigate the complex process of retention applications, addressing any concerns raised by the planning department and local community. Our goal is to help you achieve legal status for your building work while minimizing potential penalties or remediation requirements. With our guidance, you can transform a challenging situation into an opportunity to ensure your property is fully compliant and its value is protected.
