Why Choose Us?
Understanding Planning Permission for Your Plymouth Project
Before any significant building work commences on your Plymouth property, the question of planning permission is paramount. It’s the local council’s way of controlling what can be built and where, focusing on the impact your project will have on the surrounding area, local amenities, and neighbouring properties. Whether you're considering a single-storey extension, a new detached garage, or a substantial commercial expansion, many projects will require formal approval. We provide clear advice on when planning permission is needed and expertly guide you through the entire application process, liaising with Plymouth City Council on your behalf to secure the necessary consents and permits, ensuring your vision aligns with local development plans.

Who We Are
Ensuring Compliance with Building Regulations and Building Control
Beyond planning permission, all building work in Plymouth must adhere to strict Building Regulations. These are national standards that cover the construction and alteration of buildings to ensure health, safety, welfare, convenience, and energy efficiency for people in and around them. Building control, carried out by your local authority or an approved inspector, checks that your project meets these standards through plan assessments and site inspections at various stages of the build. Our experienced team at PA Robinson And Sons ensures every aspect of your project – from foundations to fire safety, insulation to access – is designed and constructed to exceed these vital regulations, preventing future issues and ensuring a safe, compliant build.

Extensions are a popular way to add space and value to homes and businesses in Plymouth, but they invariably involve navigating both planning and building regulations. Similarly, structural alterations, such as knocking through internal walls or installing new steelwork (RSJs), demand precise calculations and rigorous building control approval. We provide comprehensive support for both domestic extensions and commercial property developments, covering every detail from initial architectural drawings and detailed building control applications to managing on-site inspections. Our expertise ensures that your additional space or revised layout in Plymouth is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and fully compliant with all legal requirements.

Navigating Special Consents for Plymouth's Unique Properties
Plymouth boasts a rich architectural heritage, meaning some properties fall within conservation areas or are listed buildings. Undertaking any building work on these special properties requires additional, often more complex, consents. Alterations to a listed building, for instance, demand 'listed building consent' alongside any planning permission, focusing on preserving its historical and architectural significance. Our team has valuable experience working with properties in sensitive locations across Plymouth, understanding the nuances of these applications. We can advise on the specific steps and permissions required, helping you to respectfully enhance your property while fully complying with heritage protection guidelines and local authority stipulations.
