getting your planning permission

Obtaining planning permission means your property can be built and helps avoid delays and costly mistakes during the building stage. As experts in the field of architectural planning, we have extensive experience in securing planning permission for a wide range of projects. We help with planning for residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes. 

how we get planning permission

We identify the key issues in obtaining approval for you, even on challenging sites. We then develop strategies to address those issues. We have built strong relationships with local authorities and other stakeholders involved in the planning process around Greater Manchester.

our proven

...planning process

At Muse Architects, Manchester, we have developed a comprehensive planning system that enables us to effectively navigate the complexities of the planning process and achieve successful outcomes for our clients. Our system begins with thorough research and a deep understanding of the site and its context. From there, we identify any key issues that may impact the project and work to develop design solutions that address these issues. 

In addition to offering support with traditional planning applications, we also offer expertise in the area of permitted development. Permitted development is a type of planning permission that allows for certain types of project development to be carried out without the need for a full planning application. This can include things like small extensions, loft conversions, and certain types of home improvements. Understanding the rules and regulations surrounding permitted development can be complex, and it is important to work with an experienced architect who can advise you on what is and isn’t allowed.

 We also offer support with outline planning applications, which are used to seek approval for the principle of development on a site. Outline planning applications are typically used for larger developments where the details of the project are not yet fully determined. This can include things like new housing estates, industrial parks, and retail developments. Working with an experienced architect who has a track record of success in obtaining outline planning permission can be invaluable in helping you navigate the process and achieve your development goals.

understanding the

...building regs process

The purpose of building regulations is to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of people in and around buildings, as well as to promote sustainable development and energy efficiency. Building regulations set out minimum standards for the design and construction of buildings, including their structural integrity, fire safety, and accessibility. Building regulations apply to building work, alterations, repairs, and changes of use of buildings. By ensuring that buildings meet these standards, the local authority building control body helps to protect the safety of the occupants and the value of the property.
