Planning a new home or residential development requires careful design, accurate drawings and a clear understanding of local planning policies.
At DraftForge, we provide architectural design and planning application services for new build projects across Bristol and the South West of England.
Whether you are planning a single self-build home, a replacement dwelling or a small residential development, we can assist with preparing the drawings and submitting the planning application to the local authority.
Our New Build Services
We assist clients through every stage of the planning process, including:
-
Architectural design for new houses
-

-

-
Advice on planning constraints and development potential

Our aim is to produce designs that maximise the potential of the site while ensuring the proposal meets the requirements of the planning authority.
Types of New Build Projects
We regularly assist with a range of new build proposals including:
Self-Build Homes
Architectural design and planning applications for individuals building their own home.
Replacement Dwellings
Replacing an existing property with a new dwelling.
Infill Development
Designing new homes on small plots or land between existing buildings.
Small Residential Developments
Planning applications for small housing developments.
Planning Permission for New Builds
New build properties always require planning permission before construction can begin.
Planning authorities will assess the proposal based on several factors including:
-
Site location and surrounding development
-
Design and appearance of the building
-
Impact on neighbouring properties
-
Access and parking arrangements
-
Local planning policies
Preparing clear and accurate drawings is essential to ensure the proposal can be properly assessed.
