Design. Develop. Construct.

Planning & Building Regulations

The Service We Provide:

At ASPIRE Design Develop Construct (D.D.C.), we offer comprehensive services to navigate the often complex world of Planning & Building Regulations. From initial consultations to securing planning approvals, we are here to ensure that your project complies with all necessary regulations and progresses smoothly through each stage.

Our Planning Services Include:

Planning Appraisals

The first step in any development process is to evaluate the viability of your idea. We conduct detailed planning appraisals to assess your scheme against planning policies and technical challenges, providing clear, expert advice on the feasibility of your project and the best route forward.

Pre-Application Enquiries to Authorities

Before submitting a formal application, we liaise with local authorities to explore the acceptability of your proposal. This helps identify potential obstacles early and allows for necessary adjustments, saving time and resources down the line.

Pre-Application Consultation Exercises for Major Developments

For larger projects, we facilitate public consultations to gather feedback and ensure community engagement. This proactive approach helps build support for major developments before they are formally submitted for planning approval.

Planning Applications

We handle all aspects of preparing and submitting detailed planning applications. Our thorough approach ensures that every application is comprehensive, addressing all aspects of planning policy and technical requirements, giving your project the best chance of success.

Development Plan Representations

We represent clients in the development planning process, advocating for your interests and ensuring that your proposal is fully considered in local development plans.

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)

Large developments often require environmental assessments. We coordinate these reports, addressing ecology, flooding, highways, and other factors to ensure your project is sustainable and meets environmental standards.

Our 5 Step Approach

We apply a five-step approach to ensure the best possible outcome for your project:

Feasibility Assessment: We assess the viability of your scheme, identifying any potential planning risks and recommending strategies to mitigate them.

Liaising with Authorities: Leveraging our extensive experience with local authorities, we provide fully informed advice on how to proceed with your project.

Technical Solutions: We work with long-standing associates to address technical challenges such as ecology, flooding, and highway concerns, ensuring compliance with all regulations.

Comprehensive Documentation: We prepare detailed Planning Statements and Design & Access Statements that clearly outline the merits of your case, demonstrating compliance with national and local planning policies.

Monitoring and Management: We closely monitor the progress of your application through the determination process, ensuring timely responses and decisions from the Local Authority.

At ASPIRE D.D.C., we ensure that the entire planning process is handled with expertise and precision, allowing you to focus on your vision while we take care of the regulations and paperwork. Reach out today to see how we can help you achieve planning success with your project!
