GAINING PERMISSION

PLANNING PERMISSION

The institution of town planning is a necessary and revered institution to protect the character of an area. We at ZAP respect the role of town planning and understand that each design proposal must be appropriate for the context in which it is proposed. The locale and site fulfil the canvas for our architectural creativity. These parameters of planning policy should not hamper creativity but rather lead us to a much more rich proposal - fit for purpose and nestled snugly into its environment for years to come. Designing around planning permission guidelines (which are always changing) takes years of experience and strategic creativity. ZAP are renowned for gaining successful planning outcomes on difficult sites. We at ZAP feel this is down to hard work in understanding the site context and responding with skill and creative licence. ZAP work with local authorities and planning consultants to create successful solutions for under-used sites. ZAP have a proven track record in gaining planning approval; our record speaks for itself.
