If you are considering or undertaking a property development project it is important to address building and planning regulations as priority. At HBS Design and Build we understand that such processes can be stressful and are here to ease the strain. We can manage and guide you through the relevant applications and ensure that you acquire the permissions which are required for your project. Building regulations set standards for the design and construction of buildings, with the aim to ensure best health and safety for those who will be using the property.

They also include requirements to ensure that fuel and power is conserved and facilities are provided for any specialist requirements of all individuals who will use or need access to the building.

In adjunct to building regulations, planning relates to the way in which our towns, cities and countryside are curated and developed. Key concepts include the appearance of buildings, use of land and landscaping, highway access and the impact that the development will have on the surrounding environment.

For many types of building work, separate permissions will be required for both building and planning.

HBS Design and Build are here to help with acquisition of building regulations and planning permissions in Somerset and surrounding areas. A family run business with over fifty years in the construction trade, we have established a solid reputation as a go to property developer in Somerset.
