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.

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.

Angel, located in the heart of Islington, is a vibrant area known for its eclectic mix of residential and commercial properties. With its rich history and diverse community, it’s no surprise that homeowners seek planning permission for extensions to maximise the habitable space of their home, or commercial change of use applications to adapt to evolving needs and to provide a service to the local community.
Obtaining planning permission for a home extension in Angel can be challenging due to strict local planning policies and planning guidance aimed at preserving the character of the area. Islington Council has specific guidelines that homeowners must adhere to when proposing alterations. These guidelines cover aspects such as design, size, and the potential impact on neighbouring properties. For instance, extensions must typically complement the existing architectural style and not overwhelm adjacent homes. The process can be daunting, especially for those unfamiliar with local policies. This is where 4D Planning excels. With over 15 years of experience in both public and private sectors, our team understands the intricacies of the planning process and can guide you through every step. We take the time to assess your property and understand your vision, ensuring that your proposed extension aligns with local planning development plan, local policies and planning guidance while maximising functionality and aesthetic appeal.
For businesses looking to change the use of their premises in Angel, navigating the planning system is equally critical. Whether transitioning from retail to office space or converting a residential property into a commercial establishment, understanding local policies is essential for a successful application. The change of use process often requires demonstrating that the new use will not adversely affect the surrounding area, including considerations related to noise, traffic, opening times, employment, signage and overall community impact. At 4D Planning, we have extensive experience with change of use applications in Islington. Our team can help you prepare comprehensive professional applications that align with Islington Council’s requirements. We understand what makes a compelling case for change of use and can assist you in gathering the necessary evidence, specialist surveys and reports to support your proposed change of use application.

If you have been refused planning permission by Islington 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. If we believe that an appeal is not likely to be successful, we will be the first to let you know, and at the same time, we will suggest alternative options to progress your development if feasible. This might mean a revised design and a revised application or perhaps a different type of application etc.

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.

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
Dr I. Uka
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.
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.
