At ArchiPlan Glasgow, we offer a wide range of services to guide your project from concept to completion. Whether you need full planning permission, building warrant applications, retrospective consent or certificates of lawfulness, our expert team is here to ensure every detail is handled with care and professionalism. Let us navigate the complexities, so you can focus on bringing your vision to life.
Full Planning Permission
Full planning permission is a formal approval granted by a local planning authority that allows a proposed development to proceed.
If you’re looking to alter, extend, build or change the use of your home or premises, you must apply for planning permission for development from the local authority. Full Planning Permission is required for many alterations to your property that affect the size, appearance, position/location, materials, access, parking facilities and any environmental impact on the surrounding area.
Building Warrant Applications
Building Warrants are required for all internal and external alterations to ensure compliance with Building Standards. A building warrant must be applied for and granted by the local authority verifier before any building work can commence.
Building Standards ensure that all new or alterations to buildings comply with the Building Regulations which set the national standards for health and safety. The detailed requirements of each Building Regulation are contained in the Technical Handbooks.
Retrospective Consent
In some cases, building works have been carried out without the correct permissions being in place at the time.
This situation often arises when a sale or purchase transaction is taking place, usually flagged by a solicitor when they request the building warrant approved drawings and the completion certificate. We can help you obtain these.
Certificate Of Lawfulness
If you plan to make minor alterations to your property, you may not need planning permission.
"Permitted Development" allows you to carry out eligible works with only a building warrant required. Recent legislation changes were made to help homeowners extend or alter their existing houses, streamlining the process and reducing the need for lengthy planning permission procedures.
Tailored Architectural Services for Every Stage
At ArchiPlan Glasgow, we specialise in providing precise architectural drawings for a variety of home projects. Whether you’re planning an Extension, Loft Conversion, Garage Conversion, Conservatory or Tenement Alteration, our expert team will ensure every detail is captured to bring your vision to life. With a focus on accuracy and compliance, we create designs that not only meet your needs but also adhere to all building regulations.
Extensions
Adding an extension to your home is popular among homeowners, as the costs of moving often exceed those of extending your existing property. An extension can also boost both the valuation and resale value of your home, making it a cost-effective long-term solution.
Garage Conversions
Converting your garage can give you an additional living space, bedroom, office or gym, the choice is yours. This not only increases your useable floor and living space, but it adds value to the re-sale value of your home.
Garage Conversions are very straight forward to do and are a relatively inexpensive way of adding an additional room to your house.
Loft Conversions
Transforming your existing loft space into a habitable room not only creates valuable additional living space but also significantly boosts your home’s re-sale value. Many loft conversions can be done with just a building warrant.
Conservatories
Adding a conservatory brings the beauty of the outdoors, indoors. This addition not only increases the habitable floor space of your home but also serves as a valuable investment, with the potential to increase your property's value when it comes time to sell.
Tenement Alterations
Internal tenement alterations are increasingly popular as many flats were originally designed with kitchens in recessed areas at the back, which isn’t ideal for modern living.
New Builds
Building your own home is an exciting journey that allows you to create a space tailored to your unique lifestyle and preferences. While the process can be complex, we’ll help you obtain the correct permissions.
