Why Choose Us?

Understanding Planning Permission for Your Totnes Project

Before any spade hits the ground, understanding planning permission is crucial. For homeowners and businesses in Totnes, certain developments – such as many home extensions, significant changes to your property's exterior, or commercial works – will require consent from the South Hams District Council. PA Robinson And Sons takes the stress out of this application process. We'll help you determine if planning permission is needed, assist with architectural drawings, and prepare a comprehensive submission. Our goal is to secure your project approval efficiently, avoiding potential delays or costly revisions further down the line, ensuring your property alterations align with local planning policies.

Securing Lawful Development Certificates in Totnes

Sometimes, you might need official confirmation that existing or proposed work is lawful, even if it doesn't strictly require full planning permission. This is where a lawful development certificate comes in. This document provides formal proof that your project – perhaps a smaller home extension or certain permitted property alterations – does not breach planning rules. PA Robinson And Sons can guide you through the process of obtaining this certificate in Totnes, providing you with important legal certainty and peace of mind, especially when it comes to selling your property later on.
