When planning a construction project, be it a small extension or a new home, there is a risk of objection or refusal. This can come from neighbours or the local council/planning authority. If someone objects to your work, it can cause stress, delays and money loss, so it is important to minimise the risk. With extensive experience in the design and build of property refurbishments, loft conversions, house extensions and new builds, our team can help avoid project objections. Our new house builders also offer advice on what to do if someone does object.
