Nationwide Planning Service

Planning Application Services (PAS) provides nationwide planning support for homeowners, landlords, developers and property professionals across the UK.

​

Whether your project is in London, the Home Counties, Wales, Scotland or another part of the country, we can help you understand what type of planning support you need, what drawings may be required and how to move your project forward.

​

Our service is designed to make planning clearer, more practical and easier to manage.

​

​

A Nationwide Service With Local Planning Awareness

 

Planning is not the same everywhere.

​

Each local authority has its own planning policies, design guidance, conservation rules and application procedures. A proposal that may be straightforward in one area could need a more careful approach in another.

​

That is why PAS combines nationwide support with project-specific planning checks.

​

We look at the property, the location and the proposal before advising on the most suitable planning route.

​

​

Why Homeowners And Developers Use A Nationwide Planning Service

 

Many people start with the same questions:

​

• Do I need planning permission?

• Can I use permitted development?

• Should I apply for a lawful development certificate?

• Will my local council accept this?

• What drawings do I need?

• Is the property in a conservation area?

• Does listed building consent apply?

• What happens if the work has already been done?

​

PAS helps turn those questions into a clear action plan.

​

Instead of guessing, you can get practical planning support before spending money on the wrong drawings, wrong application or wrong route.

​

​

Remote Planning Support That Still Feels Personal

 

Many planning projects can be reviewed and progressed remotely, especially where good property information, photographs, plans, title information and project details are available.

​

This makes nationwide support practical, efficient and cost-effective.

​

Where needed, we can work from:

​

• Property photographs

• Existing floor plans

• Estate agent plans

• Land Registry plans

• Google Street View and mapping information

• Planning history

• Local authority records

• Client sketches and written briefs

• Measured survey information where available

​

For projects that require more detailed drawings, we can advise what information is needed and whether a measured survey should be arranged.

​

​

Nationwide Planning Support For Early-Stage Projects

 

You do not need to have everything worked out before contacting PAS.

​

Many clients come to us at the early idea stage, before they know whether the project is possible or what application they need.

​

This is often the best time to ask for planning advice.

​

Early support can help you:

​

• Avoid wasting money on the wrong drawings

• Understand the planning risks

• Decide whether the project is worth pursuing

• Check whether permitted development may apply

• Identify conservation or listed building constraints

• Work out the likely application route

• Prepare a better brief before moving to the next stage

​

A short review at the start can save a lot of time later.

​

​

Support For More Complex Planning Projects

 

PAS can also assist with more involved planning matters, including:

​

• Development plots

• Property conversions

• Flats and subdivision

• HMOs

• Mixed-use buildings

• Commercial premises

• Change of use applications

• Listed building works

• Retrospective applications

• Projects with previous refusals

• Sites with planning constraints

​

More complex projects often need a proper desktop review before drawings or applications are prepared.

​

This helps identify the main issues early and gives you a clearer idea of what the council may consider.

​

​

Planning Drawings And Supporting Documents

 

For many applications, clear drawings are essential.

​

Depending on the project, you may need:

​

• Existing floor plans

• Proposed floor plans

• Existing elevations

• Proposed elevations

• Site location plan

• Block plan

• Roof plans

• Sections

• Street scene drawings

• Window or door details

• Design and access statement

• Heritage statement

• Planning statement

​

PAS can advise what drawings and documents are likely to be needed for your application type.

​

Where suitable, we can also prepare or coordinate the drawings and planning support required.

​

​

Nationwide Does Not Mean Generic

 

A good planning service should not treat every project the same.

​

A loft conversion in a London conservation area, a replacement window application for a listed building, a rural outbuilding, a Welsh property conversion and a Scottish house extension may all need different planning consideration.

​

PAS looks at the details of your project before recommending the next step.

​

That is the difference between general advice and proper planning support.

​

​

Planning Experience You Can Rely On

 

PAS is built on over 40 years of property sector experience, including residential design, planning drawings, building regulations support and practical project guidance.

​

We understand how planning decisions affect real projects, real budgets and real homeowners.

​

Our advice is practical, clear and focused on helping you make better decisions before committing to the next stage.
