In 2021 we enquired with a few local architects about fees and services for a small single storey extension at home, which is in a conservation area. We asked Michael Booth to undertake an initial survey and to produce possible schemes for our consideration. Subsequently and in discussion with Michael, we chose a scheme and asked Michael to prepare plans for submission to our Local Authority planning department. We asked Michael to prepare and submit the plans through to full approval and building control approval which he did promptly and efficiently. At all times he kept us well informed and his communications have been excellent. His fees were set out clearly in advance and we considered them fair and reasonable. During the build process we made a choice to move away for the original plan and required a planning amendment which Michael undertook on our behalf successfully. As he has a particular interest in conservation he was able to structure our planning submission to ensure it met the local conservation plan criteria which has been a great help. All in all we have been very pleased with His services and the final result is everything that we could have wished for.

"Architectural Services proved to be the ideal foil and help to us on this project – developing our design ideas with us – challenging us when necessary – but always available to put our final preferences ‘onto paper'. We are very satisfied with the advice we have been given." Mr Ed Stacey of Greenfield, Oldham

"Architectural Services' assistance throughout the project was invaluable. We found out from them what we had to do to get our scheme through, what would be nice to have but might be more sensitive and what might be necessary later. They dealt with the Council's request for changes promptly and imaginatively, so that we were successful with our applications in the end." Mr S. Armstrong, Matlock.
