Our planning services skills are available for either stand-alone projects or in conjunction with our architectural design services.
​
Our sector knowledge includes commercial, residential, retail, leisure, community, education, historic and mixed-use sectors. We are familiar with a number of complex issues and have a fantastic record of securing planning permission both by application and appeal.

We will guide you through the process on producing a supporting statement abd submission to the Planning Inspectorate. Our services encompass planning appeal guidance for all types of appeals, including householder appeals and written representations.

Feasibility reports for your Architectural project showing practical development potential. We find you the local policies, regulations, comparable projects and applications to show you what can feasibly be built on the site. We can provide examples of previously completed feasibility studies.
CERTIFICATE OF LAWFUL DEVELOPMENT
Lawful Development Certificate
A Certificate of Lawful Development (CoLD) is a formal document issued by a local planning authority that confirms the lawfulness of an existing or proposed use, development, or activity. This certificate can be crucial for property owners and developers, as it provides legal assurance that a specific development is compliant with planning and does not require additional planning permission.
Interior Design/Space Architecture
At HAD, we firmly believe that interior design plays a crucial role in enhancing both residential and commercial environments, just as much as exterior aesthetics. Since we spend a significant portion of our lives indoors, it's essential to create spaces that truly reflect comfort and style. That’s why we provide a wide array of interior design services dedicated to helping our clients develop environments that are not only appealing but also practical and inviting.
