Feasibility
studies
The development potential of sites can be assessed quickly
following site appraisals and initial sketch designs. Preliminary
3D models can be quickly produced to show the form and massing
of the proposals and if they affect neighbouring buildings
or the countryside. The practice is also currently preparing
several masterplans for large- scale housing projects which
include character appraisals of the site and locality and the
preparation of a development brief, prior to local authority
submission. Preparation of the design brief following initial
consultation with our client.
Building surveys
Buildings that are to be converted, refurbished or extended
are initially surveyed to the highest level of accuracy,
by obtaining precise measurements and detailed photographic
records, to ensure that the proposals can be integrated
correctly, economically and in keeping with their character.
Statutory approvals
We prepare the documentation for planning applications, Listed
Building and Conservation Area consents, Building Regulations
and Environment Agency approvals. We have gained a reputation
for securing difficult approvals in many Local Planning
Authorities for a diverse range of projects. |
