Our Chartered Planning Consultants will offer valuable planning advice & guidance to ensure that the development will have the highest of chances possible to obtain planning permission.
Following the initial site appraisal, a site visit/survey is carried out to gather all the dimensions and required information of the existing site. We then produce all the drawings and planning documents for the application.
4D Planning will produce all the architectural drawings for your Planning Application, including the Building Regulations for Building Control & construction drawings for tender.
Building Regulations promote high standards for construction and energy efficiency of buildings. These drawings are a requirement for most domestic developments. We will produce the drawings & ensure that they are approved by Building Control.
Our services include: Transport Assessments, Travel Plans / Sustainable Travel Statements, Parking Surveys, Traffic Surveys and Delivery and Servicing Management Plans.
One of our specialities is to provide our clients with 3 dimensional realistic renders (CGI's) of proposed and existing schemes. These visuals can be used for planning or marketing purposes and add a lot of value to any project.
When considering a development project in Harlesden, located in the London Borough of Brent, consulting with a professional planning consultant such as 4D Planning is crucial. Navigating the complexities of the planning system can be challenging, especially in areas with specific regulations and community needs. Engaging with an expert can significantly enhance your chances of obtaining planning permission for your project.
Obtaining planning permission is a multi-step process that requires careful preparation and adherence to local regulations. For homeowners looking to undertake Harlesden loft conversions or a Harlesden single storey extension, the first step involves assessing whether your project meets the criteria set by Brent Council. This includes understanding the design guidelines, potential impact on neighbours, and compliance with local policies.
For instance, when planning a loft conversion, it’s essential to consider factors such as roof height and the visual impact on the street. Similarly, a single storey extension must not only enhance your living space but also respect the character of the surrounding area. A professional consultant can provide valuable insights during this stage, ensuring that your plans align with local requirements.
In addition to residential projects, many property owners in Harlesden are interested in Harlesden shop conversions. Converting commercial properties into residential units can be an effective way to meet housing demands while revitalising the high street. However, this process involves navigating different regulations compared to residential extensions.
The conversion of a house into flats is another popular option in Harlesden, particularly given the area’s diverse housing needs. This type of project requires careful planning to ensure compliance with building regulations and local housing standards. A planning consultant can assist in preparing detailed applications that outline how the proposed changes will benefit the community and comply with relevant policies.
At 4D Planning, we have extensive experience working within the London Borough of Brent and understand the intricacies of local planning policies. Our team is dedicated to guiding clients through every step of the planning process, from initial consultations to submission management.
By engaging with our expert consultants early in your project, you can identify potential challenges and develop strategies to address them effectively. We provide tailored advice on design considerations, help prepare necessary documentation, and liaise with local authorities on your behalf.
Consulting with a professional planning consultant like 4D Planning is essential for anyone looking to undertake development projects in Harlesden. Whether you are considering Harlesden loft conversions, a Harlesden single storey extension, or Harlesden shop conversions, having expert guidance can streamline the planning process and increase your chances of success. Contact us today to learn how we can assist you in realising your development goals while ensuring compliance with all local planning policies and planning guidance!

If you have been refused planning permission by Brent Council more than once, and want to make an appeal, our specialist consultant will be happy to prepare a planning appeal on your behalf. Firstly we will research the application and reasons for refusal. We will then advise on the chances of a successful appeal.

This might mean a revised design and a revised application or perhaps a different type of application etc.

We can also assist with advertisement consent, solar panels, discharge of condition, projects involving offices, shops, schools, community centres or a nursing care home in Harlesden.

I would recommend 4D Planning highly. It is an honest planning company who take a very personal approach and strive to achieve your goals. They are realistic, reasonable and highly recommended.
J.F Cardella
Exceptional service, solid knowledge, no nonsense, fast turnaround without cutting corners, they are definitely on top of their game. If you have a complex planning project or planning issues they will do whatever it takes to help you resolve it. How refreshing?! Very impressed by Elie's approach and knowledge but the entire team is first class.
Knox Interiors
Elie was great he took the job and got it done! I run an interior design and construction business and the key is people like Elie joining our team and getting things done and he did exactly that. Very little stress and all approved so could not recommend more highly
Z. Wood
Elie gave me invaluable advice, which in turn saved me a lot of time and money. He has the patience of a saint! I changed my mind numerous times and he adapted the plans straight away (as long as my request was conducive), and his charges are very competitive, he's also dedicated so you can't go wrong by selecting his company.
