For many straightforward householder applications in England, the formal determination period is typically around 8 weeks from validation. More complex applications can take longer, particularly where additional information, consultation responses or design changes are required. The important point is that the planning timetable usually starts after the application has been...]]></description><link>https://www.cwarchitecturaldesign.co.uk/post/how-long-does-planning-permission-take</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95df53606c430fb8431423</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:12:20 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_b12e6dd56831461886993fdd50dfb175~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>carl4407</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Long Does a Developer Have to Fix Snags?]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the most common frustrations after buying a new build home is identifying defects, reporting them to the developer and then waiting for them to be put right. So how long does a developer actually have to fix snags? The answer is that there is not one universal deadline for every defect. The time allowed will depend on the nature of the issue, the warranty or consumer code covering the home, the developer’s own after-sales procedure and whether the problem is urgent. What matters most...]]></description><link>https://www.cwarchitecturaldesign.co.uk/post/how-long-does-a-developer-have-to-fix-snags</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95de1e21ca4b8be96b3403</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:07:38 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_59e2154cc2964841844a6912615cc6f2~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>carl4407</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can I Build a House in My Garden?]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you have a large garden, side plot or unused area of land around your home, you may have wondered whether it could be used for a new house. In many cases, the answer is potentially yes, but building a house in a garden is not automatically permitted. A new dwelling will normally require planning permission, and whether it is acceptable depends on the site, surrounding properties, access, local planning policy and the quality of the proposed design. Is garden land suitable for a new house?...]]></description><link>https://www.cwarchitecturaldesign.co.uk/post/can-i-build-a-house-in-my-garden</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95dcd171e31f219aac7511</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:01:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f6b24_a7efc679cfd843c08bfebdac4f5c47df~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>carl4407</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Is a Pre-Application?]]></title><description><![CDATA[A planning pre-application, often shortened to pre-app, is a way of asking the local planning authority for informal advice on a proposed development before submitting a full planning application. It can be particularly useful where there is uncertainty around whether a proposal is likely to be supported, where the site has planning constraints, or where you want feedback before spending money on a full application and supporting surveys. What does a pre-application involve?

The answer is: not always. Some extensions can be built under Permitted Development rights, while others will require a full planning application. Whether your project falls into one category or the other depends on the size, position and design of the extension, as well as the type and location of your property.

A professional snagging inspection gives you an independent record of those issues so they can be raised with your developer and dealt with as early as possible.
