Geoff Perry Associates is a leading provider of Planning Application services, offering a wide range of architectural design and support services to clients in the private, affordable, mixed-use development, Crown Estates, and Life Time Homes sectors. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing clients with the highest level of service and expertise.
We offer two distinct approaches to our clients:
1. Comprehensive Design and Application Management: Our team provides all necessary design work, including drawings and documents, to ensure that the proposed development is compliant with local regulations and guidelines. We coordinate with the Local Authority on behalf of the client, providing regular updates and addressing any issues that may arise during the application process. We also manage the submission and care of the application through to the final decision, ensuring that all requirements are met and that the client's best interests are represented throughout the process.
2. Collaborative Design and Support: Our team works in conjunction with clients who have an in-house design team, providing supplementary design and drawing services using standard house types. This approach allows clients to achieve cost-effective solutions while maintaining control over the design process. We can provide support in specific areas, such as Site Analysis, Design Concept, and Construction Drawings, to supplement the client's existing team and ensure that all requirements are met.
We offer a full range of architectural services to support Planning Applications, including:
- CAD Layout

Lastly, our team of experts also provides an important service of Design & Access statement, which is a vital part of any application. The statement explains to the planning authority the way in which the site has been conceived and justify what is being applied for. It shows that the impact on the local community has been examined and taken into account when designing the new scheme, including constraints and opportunities of the site, a visual examination of the locality, services availability and style of dwelling.
It will also discuss the design concept of both the dwelling and the soft and hard landscaping and access requirements for the whole community including the elderly / disabled and the young. This document helps to demonstrate that the proposed development has been designed with the community in mind and that all relevant regulations and guidelines have been taken into account.
