Change of Use & Prior Approval Architects
We provide specialist architectural services for Change of Use and Prior Approval projects, helping clients understand what is realistically achievable before committing to a site or purchase. Our planning-led approach focuses on feasibility, compliance, and development potential from the outset.

how can we ​help?
Office to Residential
We assess office-to-residential conversion opportunities under permitted development and full planning routes. Our team reviews planning policy, space standards, and technical constraints to establish whether a scheme is viable and deliverable.
Who It’s For
For retail-to-residential projects, we analyse change-of-use potential, layout feasibility, and planning risks. We help clients understand the limitations and opportunities before progressing with design or acquisition.
What’s Feasible vs What’s Advertised
Not every site marketed as having development potential is realistically achievable. Planning policies, site constraints, and local authority requirements can significantly limit what is possible.
What is advertised may differ from what can actually gain approval.
We provide honest, early-stage advice based on planning policy and site conditions. Our assessments focus on what is practical, compliant, and deliverable. This helps you make informed decisions before committing time or capital.
