Frequently asked questions

  • Can you get planning permission for my project?

    With our 100% track record we ensure that all vital research about planning policies relating to the local authority are implemented within the design before submitting. However, we cannot guarantee planning approval.

  • How long does it take to get planning?

    To get planning, it usually takes 4 – 6 weeks. However, due to the impact of COVID 19 which has caused a lot of backlogs of applications with several local authorities. We advise to allow a minimum of 8 weeks for planning decisions.

  • Do you provide building regulation drawings and structural calculations?

    Absolutely. We provide planning drawings, building regulation drawings and structural calculations. These are all the essential drawings a contractor and building control need for construction. We also work and build relationships with reputable contractors who can deliver your project to a high standard finish.

  • I can't picture how my house will be like on floor plans.

    That’s where we come in. During the design concept or feasibility stage, we have 3D visualisation experts who can produce a 3D image of the proposed design to show you. This will give you an idea what your project will look like both internally and externally.

  • What happens if the council refuses my application?

    At Mado Homes, we do our very best to ensure all plans provided are compliant with the council's requirements. Our experts spend a vast amount of time and dedicated resources to researching council guidelines. Although we cannot guarantee planning approval for any case, we do ensure the best chance and have a fantastic track record. If an application is refused, the council will outline specific reasons in writing. Depending on their concerns for refusal, there is still a good chance we can rectify the issues and submit the application completely free for the aim of an outstanding approval.

  • How long does my permission last?

    The time frame of a Project approval can vary. On average a local council will state the time frame of when the project must be “started”.

    The majority of applications must “commence” within a 3 year period of when it was approved. Our experts will be able to better advise you on the best action to take regarding a timing issue

  • What is permitted development?

    Permitted Development is the process and approval stage from your local council to commencement of building work.

    Here at Mado Homes, we have a tremendous history of project approvals by doing our best to meet and exceed the council's requirements.
