Pre-Application

Pre-application in the UK involves discussing a project with local planning authorities before submitting a formal planning application to identify issues and ensure compliance with planning policies.

Co-Arch assists by preparing detailed proposals, facilitating meetings with authorities, and providing expert guidance, ensuring your project is well-prepared for a successful application.






Why Pre-Application with Co-Arch?

The pre-application service involves an initial consultation with a project briefing and site visit, followed by a preliminary design review where initial concepts and layouts are developed. This step ensures the project's vision and site-specific conditions are well-understood.

Next, a planning policy assessment and consultation with planning authorities are conducted to ensure compliance with local and national regulations. Feedback from planning officers is analysed, and design revisions are made based on their recommendations.

Co-Arch assists clients by providing in-depth consultations, developing innovative designs, offering expert planning advice, and facilitating communication with authorities. This comprehensive support helps refine proposals and navigate the planning process, enhancing project viability and ensuring compliance.
