UK Property Guidance
The UK has a unique and often intricate planning process for private home builds and renovations. From local council requirements to National Landscape and Green Belt policies, each local authority applies its own interpretations and conditions, and planning approval must be secured alongside full compliance with building regulations. With multiple authorities involved in the process, including heritage officers and environmental bodies, there are many layers to navigate.
At HollandGreen, we manage this entire process on your behalf. Whether obtaining Listed Building Consent or commissioning specialist ecological surveys, we manage each stage of the process with diligence and care. By anticipating challenges early and building strong cases for planning approval, we minimise the risks of refusal or costly delays, ensuring your project progresses smoothly.
Expertise in Heritage
We are renowned for creating homes where modern living is seamlessly integrated with heritage architecture. We collaborate with Historic England on listed building restorations, work closely with local authorities to meet stringent conservation standards, and embed sustainable practices in historic renovations.
With extensive experience across conservation areas and listed homes, we understand how to protect the integrity of historic structures while introducing thoughtful, sustainable design for today’s lifestyles.
A Client-Centred Approach
Our clients are at the core of everything we do. Every design is tailored to your vision and lifestyle, and we collaborate closely with you to encourage design exploration and creativity at every stage. With our integrated approach across Architecture, Interiors, and Landscape Design, we deliver a turnkey service that results in holistic and highly personal homes.
Our in-house project management team ensures your project is delivered seamlessly, with every detail carefully managed so you can enjoy the journey with confidence and peace of mind.
A Transparent Fee Structure
Unlike many practices, we don’t tie our fees to a percentage of your estimated build cost. Instead, from the Feasibility Study onwards, we agree the exact deliverables required, establish a realistic build budget, and set out how long we will need to deliver each element. This determines our fee – ensuring complete transparency and allowing you to make informed decisions from the outset.
