I am a freelance home improvement consultant/designer specialising in residential dwelling conversion and improvement works, covering many schemes involving home enlargement and or alteration. I am able to assist with homes concerning conversion of a single dwelling to multiple use - whether separation to independent flat units or the creation of "in house annexing" to provide live in facilities for the elderly with or without specific carer accommodation. I have over 30 years experience in residential property matters and offer my services throughout Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, and West Kent from offices in Southampton and Tunbridge Wells. I specialise in preparing plans for approval under current town and county council requirements with regard to Town and County Planning and Building Control requirements.Recent legislation changes mean that even simple porch, small extension or garage extensions may now require planning consent - it is not automatic that small works will always fall within previous 'permitted development' arrangements. I have access to the latest planning data and will be pleased to advise you prior to entering into an application process.
