Initial Consultation
Plansplus offers a one-hour free initial consultation to discuss your project vision, budget, and requirements. During this session, we assess site feasibility, explore design possibilities, and provide guidance on planning permissions and regulations. This no-obligation meeting ensures clarity and sets the foundation for a successful project.
Feasibility Report
A preliminary feasibility report evaluates planning constraints, cost estimates, and buildability factors. This report includes assessments from independent consultants, such as planning experts and structural engineers, to determine the viability of your project. It provides a clear understanding of potential challenges and opportunities before detailed design work begins.
Draft Schemes
Using advanced digital tools, including virtual reality, we create immersive draft schemes that allow you to experience your project in 3D. This interactive process enables real-time adjustments, ensuring the design aligns with your vision. The draft scheme serves as the basis for detailed planning and building regulations submissions.

Plansplus prepares and submits comprehensive planning applications, including supporting documents such as design and access statements. We liaise with local authorities to address queries and ensure compliance with planning policies. Our expertise maximises the likelihood of approval while aligning with your project goals.
