Councils we submit to in Preston and Central Lancashire

In plain English: Preston City Council decides applications in Preston. South Ribble and Chorley, which share the Central Lancashire Local Plan with Preston, decide their own, as does Fylde.

Local know-howPreston and Central Lancashire

What to expect locally

Central Lancashire

Preston, South Ribble and Chorley share a joint local plan, but each council decides householder applications for its own area and has its own design expectations.

Typical projects

Rear and side extensions on semis and terraces, garage conversions and dormer lofts are the projects we draw most often across Central Lancashire.

Building Regulations

Planning is only half of it: your project also needs Building Regulations approval. We prepare both sets together.

Common questionsPreston

Quick answers

Which council do I apply to around Preston?

Preston, South Ribble, Chorley or Fylde, depending on your address. Send your postcode and we confirm it.

Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?

Often not, if the work is internal and the garage is attached, but some estates have conditions removing that right. We check before you commit.

How fast can I have drawings?

Your first draft arrives within 10 working days of the measured survey or self-survey.
