Consultation

This is also the beginning of a working relationship with the practice, so an opportunity for you to ask any questions or raise any concerns about the process ahead. Most importantly, it is to discuss the brief or help you to formulate one that addresses your needs.
Concept
Black & White Architecture - Lewis Critchley Architects
Initial concept designs are developed, and once signed off by you, are formulated into a comprehensive planning application. Lewis Critchley Architects will then submit this to the relevant local council on your behalf and monitor the application with the relevant case officer.
Planning
Architecture Plans - Lewis Critchley Architects
​Planning application decisions take a minimum of eight weeks to process once validated by the council. There is an external council fee for planning submissions, which ranges from £206 for an extension to £462 for a new build. This is an independent, unbiased process undertaken by either the local planning department or, if necessary, the local planning committee.
Construction

Starting work on site is a really exciting milestone for any project, whether it’s a renovation or a new build. We enjoy working closely with contractors to ensure the design concept is executed with precision and any snagging issues on site are ironed out quickly.
