High Wycombe Architects

Buckinghamshire Council’s planning guidance specifically notes that site sections or level plans may be needed where development is proposed on steep topography, including hilly areas such as High Wycombe. Establishing reliable levels early can therefore be important when assessing extension height, excavation, retaining structures and relationships with neighbouring properties.

The council also publishes a detailed High Wycombe Conservation Area appraisal , and the conservation boundary has recently been under review. Where relevant, the design must respond to historic character, important views, materials and the surrounding townscape.

Our architects review the property, planning history, local policy, conservation status, site levels and other known constraints before the proposal is developed too far. This gives your High Wycombe project a clearer planning strategy from the beginning. You can also review Buckinghamshire Council’s guidance on planning drawings, sections and levels .

Architectural fees depend on the scale and complexity of the property, the planning risks and the services included in the appointment. A planning package requires a different level of work from a complete service covering technical design, tendering and construction monitoring.

AURA provides a transparent, itemised fixed-fee proposal for the agreed scope, making the project stages, deliverables and responsibilities clear before work begins.
