Design and planning in Kent

Tembok's in-house design and planning service covers the paperwork most homeowners hate: scaled architectural drawings, planning applications, building regs submissions, structural engineer's calculations and party wall agreements — coordinated for you under one fee.

We work daily with the Kent planning authorities — Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Canterbury, Medway and Folkestone & Hythe — so we know each council's interpretation of permitted development, neighbour-consultation timing and conservation-area constraints.

Engaging us at design stage also means the drawings are buildable from day one. Most homeowners save the difference between our design fee and a separate architect-plus-builder route, because there's no re-detailing once tenders come back.
