Planning permission
PRC steel buildings are able to offer this service for customers in compiling their planning permission. This involves preparing the relevant OS site location plan and site plan, drawing the proposed elevations of your proposed steel building along with floor plans and completing the planning application form and submitting this all via the planning portal website. We will then ask you to pay the local authority planning fees and our consultancy fee for carrying out the application.
The planning officers will then register and validate the application and 8 week process begins, in some cases for complex applications this is extended to 13 weeks. In most cases a decision is made by the end of these periods.
In some situations planning will ask for reports and further information, dependant on these requirements PRC steel building will appoint a suitable specialist on your behalf these can be for items such as;
- Flood risk assessments
- traffic impact assessments
- Bat surveys
- Mining investigation reports
- land contamination
once these have all been satisfied the planners will formulate their decision.

Building control
