Make the most of your property

Our team can offer you the benefit of our considerable experience and knowledge dealing with local council planning issues.  We know the pitfalls – what they are looking for, what they expect and how to ensure you get your plans through the planning application process with the least amount of fuss.

We also have the expertise to make your building more environmentally friendly by implementing solar panels or additional insulation for your home.

We asked Julie to design an extension along with some internal changes. Julie took the time to understand what we wanted to achieve and gave us some great ideas, showing us interesting ways of realising our goal. She has been very easy to deal with and responded very quickly when we were forced to change the scale of the extension. She helped us to meet all the necessary planning and building control requirements and our builders also spoke highly of her. We are delighted with the result and would recommend Julie to anyone.”

Charlotte Toosey

I have been pleased with Julie’s service. She guided me through the process at every stage and was patient with my frequent queries and changes of mind, making some useful suggestions. The necessary approvals were granted without any problems.”

Lyn Horne

Julie was great. Met on site and discussed our requirements. Julie took it all in and produced a great set of plans for a fabulous chalet bungalow with a few special touches of her own. All done very quickly and at a fair price.

Julie at Think Architecture has provided us with an absolute faultless service for our new kitchen extension plans. Her work has been exceptionally professional in all respects; timely, accurate and extremely helpful with all manner of advice and guidance. Unquestionable value for money.”

Paul Pettifor

We had a need for a retrospective planning application and decided to use “Think Architecture” for a couple of reasons. 1: Julie had designed the houses and development previously and we loved her work on that. 2: She is local and has a great undestanding of the area and planning routes to success. Julie was very professional and knowledgable and put our minds at ease immediately. The drawings were produced quickly and submitted to B and D. Planning took some time which was in no way due to Julie and we achieved the result we wanted. I will use Julie again for sure and would obviously recommend her design services, 10/10. Thanks!”
