Local Authority Approval
Before any building work can take place there are two stages of local authority approval that must be obtained, the first being planning approval, and the second being Building Regulations Approval.
Planning Approval
The Planning process is intended to control development in terms of limiting size, use, scale, and massing. Planning regulations are in place to protect home owners, neighbours and the local community from unwanted development. kVA Architectural Solutions will prepare a full set of plans to your specification and make the application on your behalf via the Planning Portal. A typical planning application will take the form of a location plan, plans as existing, elevations as existing, plans as proposed and elevations as proposed. A typical planning application will generally take between 6-8 weeks to be processed.
