We prepare and submit planning applications for individual buildings — houses, extensions, garages and similar — drawing on years of experience of what local planning authorities expect, so your application has the best possible chance of a smooth approval.

Site survey, measurement and levels to inform the application

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the size and nature of the work — some smaller projects fall under permitted development. We'll advise on this at your free initial consultation.

Local planning authorities typically aim for 8 weeks on most householder applications, though this can vary. We'll keep you updated throughout.

We'll talk through the reasons with you and advise on the best route forward, whether that's an amended resubmission or an appeal.

Part of the Gelder Group

DesignSpace Architecture is part of the Gelder Group, an award-winning Lincolnshire construction company built from six associated companies covering everything from architectural design through to groundworks, build and fit-out. That "everything-in-construction" reach means the drawings we produce aren't just attractive on paper — they're shaped from day one by people who also cost, build and deliver construction projects.

For our clients, that translates into real, practical benefits: a single group accountable for design and delivery, increased cost certainty from the earliest stage, and — where it suits your project — the option of a seamless handover from design straight into construction, without having to find and brief a separate contractor.
