Private Homeowners
Whether you are creating space for family, adding a garden studio, or making a long-held plan a reality, we bring the same expertise and attention to your private project that we apply to our largest commercial schemes.
Why Greenfinch?
Residential planning projects can be deceptively complex. Permitted development rules change, local authorities vary in their approach, and well-intentioned designs can fall at the first hurdle if the planning strategy is not right. We have seen it happen many times and we know how to avoid it.
Greenfinch brings a level of care and professionalism to domestic projects that is usually reserved for larger schemes. We take time to understand what you are trying to achieve, give you a realistic view of the process, and manage the planning application on your behalf with the same rigour we apply to every project we handle.
You will never feel like a small client. Every project matters to us.
What we can help with
Annexes & Ancillary Accommodation
Whether it is for an ageing parent, an adult child, or a live-in carer, an annexe adds real value — practically and financially. We manage the full planning process, ensuring the design is right and the application is properly prepared.
Garden Rooms & Home Studios
A well-designed garden studio or home office is a significant investment. We make sure the planning is handled correctly from the start, so there are no issues further down the line — and no retrospective applications.
Residential Extensions & New Builds
From modest extensions to more ambitious new-build projects on private land, our team provides the full planning and design service — from initial appraisal through to consent and beyond.
How we work
We begin with a straightforward site review, either in person or remotely, to understand your property, your plans and the likely planning context. From there, we give you clear advice on the best route forward and a fixed-scope proposal before any work begins.
You will have a named contact throughout your project, and we will keep you informed at every step. No jargon, no surprises.
Have a project in mind?
Tell us about your plans and we will let you know what is possible. An initial conversation costs nothing and could save you a great deal of time and uncertainty.
