Looking for Architectural Designers in Lichfield?

Many extensions fall under Permitted Development, but Lichfield is unusual in having a high concentration of conservation areas (including the Cathedral Conservation Area and Lichfield City Conservation Area) and a large number of listed buildings, so the rules are stricter than average. Lichfield District Council is the local planning authority. We assess your specific site at the free consultation and advise on the most likely route.

Yes — we regularly work in Lichfield's conservation areas including the Cathedral Conservation Area, Lichfield City Conservation Area and the surrounding heritage zones. Designs in these areas need to respect existing materials, scale and detailing, and we tailor proposals so they are more likely to gain consent first time.

Yes. Listed buildings are common in Lichfield and any external (and most internal) work to a listed building requires Listed Building Consent in addition to planning permission. We prepare both applications and liaise with Lichfield District Council's conservation officers throughout.

Lichfield is roughly 9 miles from our Sutton Coldfield studio — typically a 20–25 minute drive. We can usually arrange a site visit within a few working days of your initial enquiry.

We cover the City of Lichfield and the surrounding villages including Streethay, Whittington, Burntwood, Boley Park, Stowe, Curborough, Hammerwich, Shenstone and the wider Lichfield District. Whether you are in a Georgian terrace in the city centre or a modern property on the edge of town, we work across all property types.

Our fees depend on the project scope. A straightforward extension typically starts from around £1,500 for full architectural drawings and the planning application. We provide a fixed-fee quote at your free consultation so there are no surprises.
