About us - 1980 to present day

CHP is an independent planning and Building Design consultancy specialising in Development Control and Planning Enforcement. CHP provide a range of services to help our clients navigate the Planning and Building Control process to realise their development aspirations.

 CHP can advise you if a development proposal requires planning permission. CHP can also suggest changes which would make your proposals more acceptable, increasing the likelihood of planning permission being granted.

 See our reviews & testimonials on .....

Applying for planning permission can be a complex process and it is often easier appointing an agent to submit the application on your behalf. CHP will produce the necessary drawings, specifications and supporting information for a planning application, including a design statement justifying your proposal where applicable. CHP will progress the application, negotiate with the Local Planning Authority if required and deal swiftly with any problems that may arise.

If a planning application is refused or you are not happy with any conditions imposed, an appeal can be made to the Secretary of State. However, this rarely happens with CHP controlled designs. Around 1 in 3 of appeals succeed and CHP will ensure that your case is effectively made to the Planning Inspectorate if you would like to pursue an approval beyond the local council.

CHP is run by an experienced Architectural Technologist who is a Chartered Architectural Technologist and has extensive and wide ranging experience gained in Local Authority Planning and Building Control Departments.  Prior to our professional bodies name change we used to be referred to as 'Architectural Technicians'.

At CHP mostly everything is done by personal attention (site visits and meetings), by post, e-mail, fax and phone. We work fast, meet deadlines and guarantee that our advice is independent and given in good faith. We believe in long-term relationships with our clients and offer a very professional service with real help and comprehensive guidance.

We are competitively priced, we're friendly and give you a simple promise ~ that you'll get a friendly, honest, reliable and supportive service from the moment you get in touch.
