Need help with a planning application?
If you are seeking planning permission for a commercial project then it is essential to get the right advice. Getting planning permission for a commercial development is a rather more complex and lengthy process than planning permission for domestic properties.
The scale of such developments often means there are so many more considerations to take into account and an extensive knowledge of the applicable laws and policies is essential for the smooth running of a commercial building project.
When is planning permission required?
Commercial projects where there are plans to construct, extend, develop or renovate will require planning permission. This also applies where a change of use of an existing building is proposed, such a changing from residential to business use. It is possible that if you work from home and are considering making modifications to your property for business purposes you may need commercial planning permission.
In some instances, it may be possible for some commercial property projects to proceed under permitted development rights, meaning that planning permission is not required.
When it comes to planning applications for business purposes, planning permission may often only be granted if the intended building will be in an area specifically set aside by the local authority for that specific use e.g an area designated for retail.
Do I need an expert to help seek commercial planning permission?
Securing planning permission for commercial developments requires expertise. By involving a professional planning expert from the outset will ensure that the submitted plans fulfil every requirement of commercial planning rules and laws. This will save your business time and money.
An architect, surveyor or planning advisor can help you achieve both outline planning permission, agreeing the scales and type of development, and later full planning permission which will allow the building work to get under way. Full planning permission typically lasts 3 years in England and 5 years in Wales, meaning the work must have started within this period, or a new planning application must be submitted.
