John Sisson Contracting offers a fast and thorough architectural service with extremely competitive prices.
We use experienced architects that have a proven record of achieving planning consent for our customers.
Our architects’ familiarity with the design of our buildings also ensures a speedy transit through the Building Control process, if required. Also, the architectural drawings produced by our state of the art software can be supplied by us for you to submit to your local authority for planning.
Nearly all new buildings or major changes to existing buildings or to the local environment need consent – this is called planning permission. Your local planning authority is responsible for deciding whether a development of any kind is allowed to go ahead.

Planning Permission
Your local planning authority (LPA) – usually the district or borough council – is responsible for deciding whether a proposed development should be allowed to go ahead. This is called planning permission.
Most new buildings, major alterations to existing buildings and significant changes to the use of a building or piece of land need this permission.
However, certain minor building works – known as permitted development – don't need planning permission. This is because the effect of such developments on neighbours or the surrounding environment is likely to be small – e.g. building a boundary wall below a certain height. Similarly, a change of land or building use is classed as permitted development if it's within the same use class.
Other areas get special protection against certain developments. Reasons for special protection include:
- Protect attractive landscape – e.g. national parks
- Protect interesting plants and/or wildlife
- Control the spread of towns and villages into open countryside – e.g. Green Belts
- Protect monuments or buildings of historical or architectural interest
