About Cadplan Architecture Ltd

Key Products :


Established in 2006, Cadplan Architecture has years of experience as architectural designers, we provide a top class architectural design and planning agent service to clients throughout Greater Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and surrounding areas.

The service is unrivalled locally in providing a highly experienced and professional approach to all projects with a personal involvement in each one. We are local authority accredited planning agents, a good working relationship often helps to secure planning consents and can reduce the time from 8 weeks to 6 weeks.

Being design led as well as technical experts, we like to consider all projects from the viewpoint of the clients and the users by looking carefully at the interior design and layout as well as making sure the external appearances are 'right'.

We are proud to have a 100% planning success rate for house extensions, residential change of use and also Listed buildings.

The way we work is to take care of everything for you, but also involve you fully in the design stage so that you can have an input. As part of that process we send out PDFs for checking and review, you can then suggest changes. Sometimes our clients will come into the office and sit down in front of the screen and we work through things together, this always works really well.

We have a steady group of customers in North Somerset and west Bristol, including many private clients and a few developers.

Cadplan Architecture are accredited planning agents/planning partners with North Somerset Council, Bristol City Council, and Bath and North East Somerset Council.

Julie Raby
Nailsea
Andrew was very helpful in discussing the options for our build, what would work and what wouldn't. Andrew was always very responsive to queries and timely with the plans when changes were made.
Response : Thank you so very much for the kind words Julie, I’m so pleased for you and know that the extension will transform things for you.
Ian Jones

We've had 2 extensions designed by Andrew now and on both occasions we have found Andrew to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable, providing great ideas and designs. All work with Bristol Council has been handled well, pushing through planning and building regulations approval with minimal hassle. All round great service and value. Highly recommended.
Response : As always it's been a pleasure Ian, the latest extension will be a great success I'm sure, many thanks indeed for your kind words.

Despite the Pandemic Andrew Hirst of Cadplan has efficiently managed the planning phase of our renovation, from our initial brief right through to final approval from building regulations. The process has been smooth and timely and we have found having Andrew's experience in the dealing with the process very reassuring. Andrew has also offered us additional advice on materials/finishes. We would not hesitate to recommend Cadplan to anyone with building project in mind.
Response : Thank you so much for your kind review Steve, it was a pleasure working for you both in developing a scheme that I'm sure will transform your house.

We were referred to Andrew by our builder and couldn’t have asked for a better service! Andrew designed our upward extension and guided it through the planning process which was not straight forward as we started at the same time as new Government guidelines being released regarding permitted development. We had an idea about what we wanted to do with the space and Andrew brought it to life with a set of impressive drawings. The Class AA Prior Approval was agreed followed by subsequent planning permission to put in place roof winds and vaulted ceilings, both of which we wanted to have from the start but were restricted by permitted development guidelines. Andrew dealt with the North Somerset planning department on our behalf, answering any questions they had to ensure a quick and more importantly (for us! ) positive response to our application. The communication from Andrew was good and he kept us in the loop on how things were progressing through the whole of the application process. Overall, the process with Andrew was smooth, personable and very professional and I would have no issues in recommending his services. Now on to the building regulations and structural arrangements which Andrew is also seeing through for us; fingers crossed this goes as smoothly as the planning application!Moreexpand_more

Andrew and the team have been great and have supported and guided us through our first extension (a single story wrap around c. 40sqm). His personable qualities have helped us shape our project, along with simplifying the technical aspects and talking us through the stages, he was also able to recommend great local tradesmen to support the project from start to finish. Would highly recommend. J&L.
Response : Many thanks for your kind review James and Laura, it's been a pleasure working for you.

Andrew was recommended by our builder, and we asked him to design our kitchen extension. Andrew had some great design ideas including a full length window set at a 45 degree angle on one of the corners. Andrew oversaw the planning process, and we were able to use his network for some of the technical aspects of the design (structural engineer). We are delighted with the results and the thoughtful design has added a huge amount to our family living space. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew's services to others, and would work with him again in the future.

Andrew and his team have been superb. They have worked really hard to bring our concept to life and in fact offered so much more than we could have ever hoped for. Very professional and easy to work with.
Response : Thank you for your kind words Martin, you are ideal clients as you know what you want so lets hope that we get the planning result that you need!

I used Andrew recently to draw up some plans for side extension, get planning permission and building regulations. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to give me advice whenever I asked for it. Many Thanks.
Response : Andrius, I'm so pleased that we eventually got the result that you needed as the planners had other ideas!

I used Andrew for our loft and kitchen extension he was very helpful and the whole process went smoothly, I am extremely pleased with the result.
Response : Many thanks for your very kind review Annette, it was an interesting project for us and we certainly got the ‘max’ out of the bungalow between us all! You have fitted it out so well, it's unusual to see an extension actually completed and to such a good standard. Well done also for posting a photo with your review, no one has ever done that before, indeed I didn’t know it was possible until now! All the very best going forward. Andrew.

I used Andrew recently to draw up some plans for an extension, get planning permission and building regulations. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to give me advice whenever I asked for it. He knows the ways things work, and put my mine to rest a number of times during the process. I would recommend Andrew to any friend who may also be looking at getting an extension planned.
Response : Thanks for your great review Martin, it's most kind of you to take the time to do so. We found you both really easy to work with, you had a very clear idea of what you wanted. I'm sure that the finished result will really maximise your spaces!

Thanks Andrew for sharing our vision and getting us through the planning process. Your support on this project has been great and we are very excited that we will soon be building our extension to give us our dream home.
Response : Many thanks for your kind review Sarah, I'm so pleased that we have been able to give you the result that you wanted and will loom forward to seeing it in due course!

Andrew drew up plans for a loft extension. He was very professional, helpful and approachable. He answered all our questions in a way that was easy to understand. He made the whole process, including submitting plans to the Local Authority, seamless. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. .
Response : Thanks you for such a nice review Keith, it was a pleasure working with you as you had a very clear idea of what you wanted to do. Good luck with the work on site!

We have worked with Andrew since the early 2000’s gaining planning permission for several commercial conversions to resi, residential restructuring to flats, new build We have achieved many Listed building consents including a Grade 2* commercial to resi Conversion All of our applications have succeeded within a couple of months and we have always known of the decision within ten weeks of registration. We have never had a conversion application fail in all this time. Just now.
Response : Many thanks for your kind words Jane, we have many years of experience between us now!
Michael Holloway

Cadplan Architecture Ltd has just done our plans for our new single storey conservatory. Getting planning permission can be confusing at the best of times, Cadplan talked me through the process and provided drawings that were compliant. Cadplan produced my drawings within an incredibly short time frame (2 days), providing an exceptional service in my opinion. Thank you and highly recommended.
Response : Many thanks forv your review Mike, you were very clear about what you wanted and provided excellent information so that made it easier for us to produce your plans quickly!
Emma Foster
Clevedon
Cad Plan designed our two-storey extension, achieved planning consent (in record time for North Somerset) and building regulations approval. A great service was received.
Response : Many thanks for your kind review Emma, you knew exactly what you wanted and that made the whole process so much easier. Good luck with the building works over the coming week.
Jen Williams
Bristol
Andrew did the plans for an extension which is currently being built. He was willing to make changes to make sure it fitted with our requirements. The initial work was done well and we were pleased with the results. When the work started we encountered problems with drainage which weren't foreseeable. Andrew has stepped in again to help out liaising with the builders directly which has been a massive help. Would definitely recommend.
Response : Many thanks for your kind review Jen, the drainage problems are hopefully sorted now. Good luck with the building works over the coming weeks!
Daniel Farrant

Very good to deal with and excellent involement in what was needed in the planning of the house extension.
Response : Thanks Daniel, your input was most valuable.
David Whittle
Bristol
Andrew designed a dormer extension to our property after the arrival of our second child. He was a pleasure to wok with and was incredibly helpful, even recommending builders and structural engineers for us to use. He was always available to go through the design and offered advice and suggestions even after he had completed the plans. Highly recommended!
Response : Thank you for taking the time to send in such a good review Dave, it was a pleasure working with you also, we will be on hand to offer advice if needed during the weeks ahead once you get underway. Best wishes, Andrew.
