Need planning permission for your project?
We help you understand what's realistic, avoid rejection, and move your project forward.
When planning is needed
- PD does not cover your proposal, or local rules switch it off.
- You are in a flat, or the site is listed / heavily restricted.
- The council needs to assess impact on neighbours or the area.
What can go wrong
- Weak drawings or missing detail → questions, delays, or refusal.
- Ignoring site constraints → redesign loops after submission.
- Unrealistic schemes → wasted time before a viable design is found.
How Maven helps
- Honest view on what is likely to be acceptable before you over-invest.
- Coordinated drawings and information that match what can be built.
- Clear communication so you know where the application stands.
- Optional: we take the project through to build once permission is in place.
