The benefits of engaging a Chartered Town Planner for your project

For developments that fall outside permitted development rights, full planning permission is essential. Rubix Planning manages the process from concept to submission, ensuring your application is thorough, policy-aligned, and strategically presented.

Whether you're planning a rear extension, loft conversion or internal reconfiguration, we make the process simple. Rubix provides clear guidance, planning drawings, and tailored support to help you achieve the permissions you need.

Some works can be carried out without full planning permission — but only if the rules are properly followed. Rubix provides clarity on what’s allowed, prepares Lawful Development Certificates, and ensures your project stays within scope.

Larger home extensions may fall under Prior Approval rather than full planning permission. We advise whether your project qualifies, prepare plans and paperwork, and manage the process from submission to decision.

Working with listed buildings demands care and precision. We help you navigate heritage policy and submit robust applications that respect the past while enabling sensitive change.

Developing in a Conservation Area means balancing design ambition with heritage sensitivity. We guide you through local constraints and ensure your proposals respect the character of their surroundings.

Changing the use of a property involves more than paperwork — it’s a strategic planning exercise. Rubix helps you navigate the rules, prepare supporting documents, and make a clear, policy-aligned case.

Planning permission is just the beginning — many approvals come with conditions that must be discharged. We handle the process efficiently, ensuring that your project can start and finish without delay.

Whether it’s signage for a shopfront or branding for a listed building, some advertisements need formal consent. Rubix ensures your signage is well designed, policy-compliant, and submitted with the right supporting material.

When a decision doesn’t go your way, a well-handled appeal can put things back on track. We specialise in both planning and enforcement appeals, providing expert advice and compelling, policy-led representations.

If you’ve received an enforcement notice, acting quickly and strategically is vital. We help you assess the notice, identify valid grounds for appeal, and prepare a strong response to protect your position.

If your planning application has been refused, a well-prepared appeal can be a second chance at success. Rubix Planning provides expert review, strategic advice, and clear appeal submissions to give your case the best chance of approval.

Engaging with the council early often leads to a smoother path to permission. Our pre-application services help shape your proposal in line with local expectations and planning policy.

Before committing to a planning application, it's vital to understand what your site can realistically support. Our feasibility appraisals offer honest, policy-informed advice on development potential — giving you clarity from the outset.

Heritage Statements are crucial for proposals involving listed buildings or historic settings. Rubix produces concise, well-researched reports that respect heritage significance while supporting sensitive change.

A well-written Planning Statement can make all the difference. We produce clear, policy-based statements that explain your proposal and strengthen your application.

A strong Design & Access Statement tells the story behind your design and why it works. We create focused, compliant statements that communicate the planning and design rationale clearly to decision-makers.

Not all developments are appropriate — and your voice matters. We draft professional, policy-based objections that highlight material concerns and ensure your views are properly considered.
