Kensington Planning Permission & Architectural Services
At 4D Planning, our Kensington Planning and Architectural Consultants are committed to helping you secure planning permission swiftly and affordably. Unlike typical architects who simply provide drawings, our expertise lies in navigating the complexities of the planning process. Our team’s in-depth knowledge of the Kensington Planning Department and building regulations sets us apart.
To make the process as straightforward as possible, we start with a FREE initial consultation. During this consultation, we will discuss your project and outline how we can assist you throughout the entire planning application process. Additionally, we ensure that your development meets all building regulations and obtains the necessary sign-off from Building Control. Furthermore, we can recommend local builders in Kensington who have successfully completed projects with us.
We undertake a full property site assessment by looking into the history and context of the site and its surroundings.
Following the initial site appraisal, a site visit/survey is carried out to gather all the dimensions and required information of the existing site. We then produce all the drawings and planning documents for the application.
4D Planning can produce building regulations for Building Control and construction drawings for tender. We can also provide lease plans and other types of drawings.
Building Regulations promote high standards for construction and energy efficiency of buildings.
Our services include: Transport Assessments, Travel Plans / Sustainable Travel Statements, Parking Surveys, Traffic Surveys and Delivery and Servicing Management Plans.
One of our specialities is to provide our clients with 3 dimensional realistic renders (CGI’s) of proposed and existing schemes. These visuals can be used for planning or marketing purposes and add a lot of value to any project.

Loft Conversion. August 2019.
“I used 4D Planning for a planning application of an existing loft conversion. Working with 4D planning was simple and effective. I received clear guidance and Elie (4D Planning) was always available for clarification when I had to decide a course of action.
