Planning is a conversation, not a form. The councils round Kelderby want good buildings, and they’re far more likely to say yes when an application shows it has listened to the place: its streets, its materials, its neighbours.
We prepare every application as if it might go to committee: clear drawings, honest views, a statement that explains the thinking in plain English.

Questions
What if it's refused?+
We read the reasons with you. Often a revised application answers them; sometimes an appeal is the better route. We'll tell you which, and what it costs, before you decide.
Will you apply for a scheme another architect designed?+
Yes, if we believe in it. We'll suggest changes where we think they'd help it through.
Hello! Ask me what we do, roughly what it costs, how a project runs or whether we work where you are.
