Architect needed

[cashewnut]

Hi All,

I have a small plot of land for a single dwelling in Rainham ESSEX.

Anyone know of a good architect for this project and can supply details?

Any advice regarding building my own home also appreciated.

Thanks

OP have you got planning permission for the house?

If so, did you use an architect for that?

First thing is to establish whether the plot of land actually stands any chance of gaining Planning Permission... 95% of those we look at don't.

PM me details, if you wish: I'll be able to tell you whether or not you're wasting your time, pretty quickly and at no cost.

No planning permission as yet. Architect that was recommended has dragged his feet and so feel the need to change.

Thank you, there are two houses already built on land to the rear of existing properties. Mine would be a third. I'll PM you later.

YHM... interesting one!

I've spotted one of the two houses, but unless you're talking about the one on the corner (which is subject to rather different circumstances), I can't see the other one on Google Streetview.

You've got a couple of issues that would need to be addressed - one straightforward, the other less so - but I've covered those in my response.

Just taken a look on Googlemaps there is the one on the corner which is on two plots of land and then a second one which is pink/salmon exterior with a black and a white car on the forecourt
