Residential Architectural Services in Liphook
If you are a homeowner in Liphook considering an extension, a loft conversion or a new build, finding the right residential architectural practice is the most important first step. Liphook sits within East Hampshire District and, while the village itself falls outside the South Downs National Park boundary, the surrounding countryside and proximity to the Surrey Hills mean that planning applications need to be thoughtfully prepared.
Architecture Surrey provides residential architectural services Liphook homeowners can rely on, covering the village and the surrounding area. With over 25 years of experience, the practice offers two core services: Extensions & Refurbishments and Residential Building Design. The team works with East Hampshire District Council as the local planning authority for this area.
Extensions & Refurbishments in Liphook
The Planning & Design Service LLP handles every stage of the extensions and refurbishments process for homeowners in Liphook, from the initial measured survey through to sketch proposals, planning application preparation and submission, building regulations drawings and contractor tender documents. The service covers rear extensions, side extensions, side returns, loft conversions, garage conversions and wider house refurbishments, giving you a complete set of drawings and documents ready for your contractor without the need to manage multiple professionals at each stage.
Liphook's housing stock is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian properties in the older parts of the village, post-war semis and detached houses across the residential estates, and rural fringe properties on the edges of the settlement. The village sits on the Hampshire and Surrey border, close to the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and some properties on the fringes may be subject to additional landscape sensitivity in any planning application. East Hampshire District Council will consider the design, scale and materials of any proposed extension when assessing a planning application.
Residential Building Design in Liphook
For clients in Liphook with a plot of land or a more ambitious residential brief, the Residential Building Design service covers new build properties and larger-scale residential schemes from concept design through to a full planning application and building regulations drawings.
Liphook sits within East Hampshire District, and the surrounding countryside includes land on the fringe of the Surrey Hills National Landscape and Green Belt. New build projects in this area require a planning application that demonstrates the proposal responds appropriately to its setting and the character of the local area. The practice works through every stage of the design process to give your project the strongest possible foundation with East Hampshire District Council.
Planning Permission in Liphook: What Homeowners Need to Know
Planning applications in Liphook are determined by East Hampshire District Council, the local planning authority for this part of Hampshire. Liphook itself falls outside the South Downs National Park boundary, which means applications are assessed under East Hampshire District Council’s local plan rather than the more restrictive National Park policies. However, the surrounding countryside includes land sensitive to development, and the council will assess the design, scale and materials of any extension or new build in the context of the local area character.
Many homeowners in Liphook can extend under permitted development rights without submitting a full planning application, provided the works fall within national size limits and siting criteria. The team advise from the outset whether your project requires a full planning application to East Hampshire District Council or a certificate of lawful development, so you always know exactly where you stand before any work begins.
Our Process
Every project follows a clear four-stage process, from the first site visit through to a complete set of drawings ready for your contractor.
| Stage 1: Measured Survey | We visit your Liphook property to carry out a detailed measured survey, giving us the accurate base drawings needed to develop your design. |
| Stage 2: Design & Sketch Proposals | We develop sketch proposals based on your brief, refining the design with you until you are fully satisfied with the scheme before it progresses to a planning application. |
| Stage 3: Planning Application | We prepare and submit your planning application to East Hampshire District Council, including all required drawings, documents and supporting information. |
| Stage 4: Building Regulations & Contractor Tender | We produce the full building regulations drawings and, where needed, a tender package to help you appoint a suitable local contractor with confidence. |
A free, no-obligation initial consultation is available to homeowners in Liphook. Get in touch to discuss your project before committing to anything.
