Achieving the best for your home, maximising space, minimising local authority intervention.
Permitted Development is your right as home owner.
Many builders advise client that planning permission is not required, and they are right. But it is important to ensure that the proposals fall within the rules. If not the local authority will take enforcement actionto make it compliant.
We would recommend that you apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness prior to construction. It does not seek permission but agreement that the proposals fall within the lawful rules of permitted development. This will safe guard the value on sale of the property.

Refurbishment and addition of two new consultation rooms to a south east GP Surgery has been completed.
The design made use of the existing envelope of the building, avoiding a major cost of construction. The internal arrangements where made more efficient via a curved wall. The wall allows enough space for the waiting zone and corresponding administration area while providing a relaxing and fresh environment for patients.
Special grade flooring has been fitted to deliver the highest quality, clean environment for staff and patients. The Surgery management undertook the upgrade to the practice to improve the service to the community but also to maintain their competitive edge as patients can now decide who and where they will get their medical services from.
The works were undertaken in conjunction with Construction Element, http://www.constructionelement.co.uk/

This new cash and carry outlet in Hayes is Dhamecha’s sixth outlet. The new depot is over 8000sqm of spacious aisles with over 200 parking bays and 14 tills, reducing your paying and exit time.
YOOP worked closely with the client to maximise available sale floor space while still providing staff offices and amenity space.
The site was previously a warehouse and distribution centre for a leading high street retailer, who unfortunately didn’t make it through the recession.
The scheme required the replacement of all the existing mechanical and electrical services, including fire detection systems, internal demolition of mezzanine floors and redundant plant machinery.
The team at Dhamecha took the bold decision to renew all the ageing services bringing them up to current building regulation standards. Working closely with building inspectors Butler and Young Ltd (Colin Winton and Alan Hills), and the principle contractor, Vascroft Contractors Ltd (Shashi Vekaria), the whole project was turned around in less than 5 months from issuing the F10, to the opening celebrations last week.
YOOP dealt with all planning issues, building regulations and also undertook the role of CDM Coordinator.
