Listed building work

Getting planning in Lichfield and the surrounding area is no mean feat – planners of the historic city, rural villages and private estates demand careful attention to detail for any project to be built in the area. Fortunately, we know this part of the world well and have dealt with the council on dozens of occasions, so any planning considerations of services you might need can be despatched efficiently, and we are justly proud of our high success rate for approvals. 

Listed building design and planning experts

We offer full architect service and the designs we create are to our client’s individual needs, and we’ve worked dozens of projects on listed buildings, in conservation areas and green belts, as well as extensions to homes and new build houses! 

Lichfield is a perfect place to show off our experience in the various kinds of residential architecture: listed buildings, new apartment developments, completely new-build executive homes and spacious  extensions on the private Little Aston estate.

These projects require high-quality designs in keeping with the local environment and we often work closely with local government such as Lichfield City Council and English Heritage, as well as Staffordshire County Council to ensure that the projects get the planning approval our clients need. 

This collaboration is also helpful when it comes to the planning stages of your project, as green belt issues are a given in Lichfield – prior experience is very useful and makes the process of getting permission for our designs a lot easier.

With this in mind, every project we’ve worked on in the Lichfield area has been carefully designed, planned, built and finished to an excellent spec, whether for a developer or private individual – so you can be assured of quality.
