Our Plan Printing Service

Build, build, build

In amongst the continual newsreel on Covid 19 has been the impact on the economy. You may have missed it but at the end of June, as part of his drive to boost the economy, Boris Johnson initiated changes to the current planning laws which came into effect in September.

The overhaul to the planning system has been long awaited and arguably overdue. The changes that took effect in September include allowing many commercial buildings to change to residential use without a planning application. The aim is to speed up the planning process for builder and developers so that vacant residential and commercial buildings can be demolished and quickly turned into new homes. Lockdown gave many of us time to think about possibly moving or making improvements to our homes plus with many people needing space now to work from home, it’s a busy time for architects and contractors with lots of plans being drawn up.

Do you need plans?

If laws are relaxing around planning, then do you need physical plans if there is no permission required? The chances are you may not but there will still be building regulations to adhere to plus potential structural considerations such as steels required for support.  Perhaps you’re quite proud of your drawing ability so you can have a crack at drawing your owns plans if you want to save money. There are even software tools out there that can help you but it’s not just the plans that the architect can provide. When you have a consultation with them, it’s also the knowledge and expertise that you pay for; years of experience working on similar projects that you benefit from. Put it this way, yes you can physically cut your own hair but that does not necessarily mean that you should! The Headline view: best leave it to the professionals.
