Tower Hamlets Planning Permission & Architectural Services

Our Planning and Architectural Consultants at 4D Planning bring extensive experience with the Tower Hamlets local development plan and planning policies. With years of successfully obtaining planning permission in Tower Hamlets Borough, we can help you navigate this process efficiently and cost-effectively—often at a fraction of the price charged by typical architects. Producing drawings is one aspect, but mastering the planning permission process requires specialized knowledge.

To simplify the planning and building control process, we provide a FREE initial consultation. In addition, we handle the complete planning application submission to the Tower Hamlets Planning Department. Following this, we ensure that the development meets all building regulations and receives approval from Building Control. Furthermore, we can recommend local builders in Tower Hamlets who have contributed to our successful projects.

Planning Advice

We undertake a full property site assessment by looking into the history and context of the site and its surroundings in the borough of Tower Hamlets.

Planning Applications

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.

Architectural Drawings

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

Building Regulations promote high standards for construction and energy efficiency of buildings.

Transport Planning

Our services include: Transport Assessments, Travel Plans / Sustainable Travel Statements, Parking Surveys, Traffic Surveys and Delivery and Servicing Management Plans.

3D Visuals

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.
4D Planning did everything, drawings and paperwork, and made a successful application on my behalf for a Lawful Development Certificate. So I definitely recommend them.”
