AY Planning & Construction Consultants is a London practice helping homeowners, developers and small businesses navigate planning permission, technical drawings and construction management — from first sketch to final handover.
Most consultancies stop at the drawing stage. We stay with you through planning committee, building regulations, tender and construction — so the design you approve is the building you actually get.
Householder, full and outline applications prepared with the design rationale and heritage statements local authorities actually want to read.
Measured surveys, existing and proposed plans, elevations and sections — produced in CAD and issued for builder pricing, tender and Building Control.
Once consent is granted, we stay on — running tenders, checking builder quotes, visiting site and certifying payments so your budget stays under control.
AY Planning & Construction Consultants was founded on Stoke Newington High Street with a simple conviction: London's planning system rewards clarity. Most applications fail not because the idea is wrong, but because the case officer can't find the information they need, in the format they expect.
Every project we take on is led by a chartered planner or architect from start to finish. No hand-offs to juniors, no faceless portals. We sit down with you, walk the site, read the local plan, and design to the policies that will actually determine your application.
Our planners and designers hold full professional chartered membership.
Decades of combined experience negotiating with London boroughs.
We will tell you what won't work before you pay for an application.
The person who draws it is the person who sees it built.
Every AY project moves through the same four gated stages, so you always know what we're doing, what you owe, and what happens next.
Site visit, measured survey and a no-nonsense written assessment of what planning permission is realistic.
Sketch proposals, iterate with you, then prepare the full drawing pack and statements for submission.
We manage the application, answer case officer queries and represent you at committee if required.
Tender, contract administration and site inspections through to Building Control completion certificate.
Tell us what you want to build and where. We'll tell you — honestly — what the planning hurdles are likely to be and whether it's worth proceeding.
