Services
At Passiv Developments, we provide practical, energy-conscious architectural design services for homeowners and small developers across North Cornwall. From concept to planning approval and building regulations, we guide you through every stage of your project with clear drawings, reliable advice, and a stress-free process.
Conceptual Design
Every successful project begins with good design. I create practical, energy-conscious concepts that reflect your ideas, make the most of light and space, and respect your budget. Whether it’s an extension, barn conversion, or a new-build home, the approach combines creative ideas with realistic construction methods.
Services include:
- Home extensions and renovations
- New and replacement dwellings
- Barn conversions
- Agricultural buildings and rural schemes
- Energy-efficient and sustainable design advice
- Fully supported AutoCAD drawings
Planning Applications
Navigating Cornwall’s planning system can be challenging. I provide clear guidance, highlight relevant policies, and liaise directly with planning authorities to give your application the best chance of success.
Services include:
- Full and householder planning applications
- Permitted development (extensions, outbuildings, etc.)
- Class Q and Class R agricultural conversions
- Agricultural buildings and rural schemes
- Feasibility studies and site appraisals
- Planning drawings, forms, and supporting documents
- Change of use applications
Building Regulations
Once planning approval is secured, I prepare technical construction drawings and specifications to meet building regulations. These documents ensure builders can price and construct with confidence, while your project complies with all current standards.
Services include:
- Detailed construction drawings including sections
- Compliance with building regulations
- Coordination with engineers and specialists
- Submission and liaison with building control
Project Management
With all paperwork in place, it’s time to start the build. I offer project management tailored to your needs, helping with pricing, scheduling, product selection, and site visits.
This ensures an efficient, smooth build process, with hands-on support for both clients and contractors to complete every aspect successfully.
