Planning Permission vs Permitted Development — what do you actually need? 🏡

This is one of the most common questions homeowners ask us before starting an extension.

The answer? It depends on what you’re building and your property.

Permitted Development (PD):
You may not need full planning permission if your project falls within certain limits — like size, height, and location.

Planning Permission:
Required when your project goes beyond those limits or your property has restrictions (e.g. flats, conservation areas, previous extensions).

👉 The tricky part is that getting it wrong can delay your project or cause issues later on.

That’s why it’s always worth checking before you start designing or building.

At ADSJ Associates, we help homeowners figure out exactly what route they need — and handle the drawings and applications from start to finish.

Another project complete 👷‍♂️✨

ADSJ Associates led the shell-to-fit-out process for @1650.coffeeco Reading location. Our team prepared full proposal documentation, coordinated technical drawings, and aligned the design with all landlord and building-management requirements.

From compliance checks to spatial planning, we ensured the café’s interior was delivered to a high commercial standard and supported a smooth approval process from start to finish.

🏚️ 16th-century timber hut — unlisted and of limited architectural merit. Built from traditional timber with brick infills, this structure sits directly on earth, offering no thermal performance at all.

Over time, wet ground conditions have caused movement and cracking in the external walls — a domino effect now developing into a subsidence issue. 🌧️❄️☀️ Every climate condition has played its part.

We’re now proposing a replacement building that respects the heritage while ensuring long-term stability and sustainability.

Project Insight — Garage Conversion 🏗️

We’re transforming an upper garage space into a functional living area — but as with many projects, the existing structure had a story to tell. During our inspection, we discovered cracking in the brickwork. Further investigation revealed that poor surface water drainage had led to ground saturation and movement over time, causing differential settlement and exposing areas of unprotected masonry.

Rather than push ahead, we’re pausing to do things properly. We’ll be working closely with our trusted structural and drainage partners to develop a revised design that addresses the root cause before any further construction. A reminder that every successful project starts with solid ground — literally.

✨ Out with the old, in with the new ✨

We’ve said goodbye to the conservatory and started work on a modern single-storey rear extension. This build is all about creating a brighter, more open space that transforms the way our clients live in their home.

Step by step, we’re turning visions into reality — because at the heart of every project is our goal of creating dream homes. 🏡
