Barker Parry can support your home renovation plans
Many properties benefit from Permitted Development Rights which allow you to, for example, build extensions, alter your property, or install outbuildings, without the need for planning permission. These rights are usually caveated and can be confusing.
Our consultants are well versed in the nuances of the General Permitted Development Order – we will advise you on what you are able to do and whether to obtain a Lawful Development Certificate before carrying out any work.
Some permitted development rights require an application for prior approval to be made to the Local Planning Authority, which we can do on your behalf.
We also advise on strategies for achieving larger home extensions in rural locations where restrictions may apply, or in respect of listed buildings.

– Rachel Bailey, Coles Hill House
When we decided to try to obtain planning permission on our residential barn, we were recommended Barker Parry by a friend. Working with them turned out to be a great decision. They dealt with all the detail of putting a planning application together, when we had no idea of how to do that. They worked in a structured way, explaining and allowing us to make good informed decisions as we went along. The final planning application was compiled by them with a well presented case that ultimately achieved exactly what we were hoping for.
