Using the advancements of AI a simple 3D model can now become a detailed, realistic scene in minutes, helping our clients see and feel a design long before it’s built.
But here’s the truth: AI is only as good as the model behind it.
Accurate measurements, real construction knowledge, and practical design decisions still come from human experience. AI enhances the vision, it doesn’t replace the professional.
AI is a powerful tool… but the human touch is what makes the design real.

As a homeowner, you can carry out certain types of work on your house without the need for planning permission. These are called ‘permitted development rights’.

Any building work done within permitted development will need to meet certain standards and criteria limiting the maximum size of extensions and loft conversions.

Luckily, these limits are quite generous. There is a lot you can do to maximise your living space and improve your home without the need to go through planning permission. Rear extensions up to 4m in a detached house and large loft conversions are potentially allowable. There are unfortunately some situations where you may not have the right to carry out such work, if your building is Listed or in a conservation area these rights may be removed.

If you are looking to take advantage of these rules please get in touch to discuss your proposal so we can give you advice on the process and viability.

Can you change the doors and windows on your house without getting permission? Most of the time, yes you can, but in some situations this is unfortunately not the case.

We were approached by an individual whose properties were subject to an Article 4 restriction; this is put in place to protect worthy properties from unsympathetic change, and to retain an attractive streetscene. The owner was looking to replace the doors on their properties, as part of an application they needed to provide accurate scale drawings of the proposed doors and the front elevation of the properties.

We came in, measured up and produced detailed drawings to show how the doors would be constructed and how they would look in the streetscene, these were accepted by the planning department and were an integral part of a successful application.

These kinds of restrictions can apply to Listed Buildings and conservation areas as well, if you have any concerns or want more information please get in touch.

Now we have completed the plans, we are looking forward to works commencing on this beautiful annex in Lincolnshire. Formerly a dilapidated stone barn, it will become a wonderful addition to the main house.

Appreciating how the sunlight moves around your house and proposed extension can help with positioning of windows and rooflights. How your proposal may cast shade on neighbouring properties is also a key factor to consider. Here is an example video that I created for a client.
