CONSULTATION
Our local Designer will visit you in the comfort of your home for an initial consultation to discuss the type of work ,design ideas and the feasibility of your scheme. Planning permission is not always needed and the vast majority of homes have permitted development rights. We can investigate and advise upon the permitted development rights of your home during our visit.
There may be further information required and in some cases, we may need to consult with your local authority or submit a pre-application report to ascertain your schemes feasibility and likelihood of approval. Once we have all the relevant information, a quotation will be sent to you.

A measured building survey refers to the internal and external measured survey of a building,followed by the production of a set of detailed drawings .Our expert surveyors offer tailored measurement solutions, delivering precise and comprehensive data to support successful building projects whether you are undertaking a renovation, sale, or documentation of the building.With a strong commitment to detail and efficiency, we provide services including floor plans, elevations, cross-sections and block plans.Our team utilises the latest 3D laser scanning technology to deliver accurate results for any project,regardless of size.
NEW BUILD DESIGNS, EXTENSIONS AND INTERNAL ALTERATIONS, LOFT AND GARAGE CONVERSIONS, 3-D VISUALS
The architectural design process begins with inputting survey data into AutoCAD to create plans, elevations, site plans, and 3D visualisations. Designs, including new builds, extensions, internal alterations, and loft or garage conversions, are developed based on the consultation brief, considering planning, feasibility, and cost. Following client feedback and revisions, the approved scheme advances to the next project stage.
OUTLINE PLANNING APPLICATIONS, PRIOR APPROVAL APPLICATIONS, PLANNING APPLICATIONS & LAWFULNESS CERTIFICATES
Once it has been established that Planning Permission is required, an appropriate submission must be made to the Local Planning Authority. Bretway Designs will complete the application electronically, forwarding plans, diagrams, site location plan and any other supporting information needed for purposes of consultation with various statutory bodies.
These form the basis of the working file, which is subsequently assigned to a Planning Officer. Should the development involve a Listed Building or demolition in a Conservation Area, further application forms relating to this may need to be completed. The application fee must be paid before the application can be processed. Fees are set by government
BUILDING CONTROL APPLICATIONS
Building regulations are entirely separate from Planning Permission. Bretway Designs produce all the building regulations drawings, specifications and structural calculations required. We can act as your agent and submit the application to Building Control and liaise with them to gain the required Building Control approval.
All extensions, conversions and structural alterations require building regulations approval for the work you are carrying out. Building regulations promote standards for most aspects of a building’s construction, energy efficiency in buildings, the needs of all people, including those with disabilities, in accessing and moving around buildings.
They are separate from planning permission and for most developments; you will need building regulations approval. Building regulations standards are applied and enforced through the Building Control system and are supported by technical guidance documents.
