Our Planning & Design Process

End-to-end support with none of the hassle.

Initial Consultation

We visit your property to discuss your ideas, budget, and goals. If you’re not sure what’s possible, we’ll advise based on your home’s layout and any planning limitations in your area.

Concept & Technical Drawings

Our design partners produce detailed plans tailored to your project. These may include layout options, elevations, structural elements, and visuals to help you picture the final outcome.

Planning Permission & Building Control

If planning permission is required, we’ll prepare and submit the application on your behalf. We also liaise with Building Control to ensure everything is safe, compliant, and signed off.

Project-Ready Handover

Once approved, we get everything ready for construction, including timelines, materials, and build sequencing. Then it’s over to our team to bring it to life.

Why Use Our Planning Services?

Planning a home improvement project can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to drawings, permissions, and regulations. That’s why we offer a streamlined, all-in-one approach that combines design, planning, and building into a single, well-managed process.

By working with Harry Antonious Construction Ltd. from the start, you benefit from a joined-up approach where design decisions are grounded in real-world build experience. We don’t just draw something that looks good; we design with your budget, timeline, and structural requirements in mind, avoiding costly surprises down the line.

We also have a strong understanding of Cheltenham’s local planning policies and permitted development rules. That means we can offer honest, practical advice about what’s likely to be approved, helping to avoid delays or failed applications.

Rather than juggling multiple consultants or chasing architects and builders separately, you’ll have one experienced team managing everything from first sketches to the final sign-off. It’s a simpler, clearer, and more cost-effective way to bring your ideas to life.

Whether you’re planning an extension, loft conversion, or internal layout change, we’re here to guide you through it and get your project moving with confidence.
