Planning

  • Permitted Development

    Permitted Development allows you to make certain changes to your property without requiring full planning permission. Ideal for smaller projects like rear extensions, loft conversions, or outbuildings, this route is faster and more straightforward—provided the design complies with government regulations. Bashkal ensures your project meets these criteria, saving you time and hassle.

  • Householder

    Householder Planning Permission is required for extensions, alterations, or changes that don’t fall under Permitted Development. This applies to larger or more complex projects, such as significant side or two-story extensions. Our team navigates the process for you, ensuring your design meets council expectations and secures approval.

  • Full Planning

    Full Planning Permission is necessary for new builds, major renovations, or significant projects that fall outside residential alterations. This process requires detailed plans and supporting documents. At Bashkal, we handle the complexity, crafting compliant designs that meet both your vision and local planning policies.

  • Lawful Development

    A Lawful Development Certificate confirms that your project complies with Permitted Development rights or existing planning permissions. While optional, it’s highly recommended for peace of mind and future property sales. Bashkal ensures your designs meet all legal requirements, giving you complete confidence.

  • Pre-Application Advice

    Pre-Application Advice involves consulting with the local council before submitting a formal planning application. It’s an excellent way to gauge the feasibility of your project and identify potential hurdles early on. Bashkal facilitates this process, helping you refine your plans and increase the likelihood of approval.

  • Appeals

    An appeal is your chance to challenge a planning decision if your application has been refused. This process allows you to present your case for why the decision should be overturned. Appeals can be complex and time-sensitive, but at Bashkal, we bring decades of experience to build a strong case, address council concerns, and maximize your chances of success.

  • Change of use

    A Change of Use application is needed when altering the purpose of a building or part of a property, such as converting a commercial space into residential use or vice versa. This process often involves meeting specific requirements and providing robust justifications. Bashkal simplifies this for you, managing the application and ensuring compliance with all planning regulations to get your change approved quickly and smoothly.
