Design, planning and build for Egloskerry architectural design
We prepare site-specific concept design, planning drawings and supporting documents that give your project the strongest possible chance of consent — and a clear path through Cornwall Council's planning process. A PL15 site visit comes before a Egloskerry sketch, every time — Egloskerry is a rural parish in the PL15 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward scattered modern homes and smallholdings.
Egloskerry sits in East Cornwall — just off the A38; covering PL15 from Launceston, Warbstow, North Petherwin outward.

Who this is for
In Egloskerry the architectural design brief is almost always a private homeowner improving a forever home — so we lead with feasibility and long-term value, not show-home rhetoric.
Page purpose
What you actually get on a Egloskerry architectural design drawings package
This is a drawings-led service. You are buying a documented, submission-ready set for a PL15 address, not a build contract. For most Egloskerry householders that means a measured survey, an honest feasibility view, then the drawings the council and your builder both need.
- Measured survey and existing drawings before any proposal is drawn
- A written planning route for the PL15 address, including whether permitted development is realistically available
- Proposed plans, elevations and site plan at the scales the authority expects
- Submission and validation handling, plus responses to officer queries
Scope
Where our work starts and stops on a PL15 project
Clients in Egloskerry take different slices of this list, and that is deliberate.
Construction and technical drawings
1:10 and 1:20 details for the parts of the job builders normally have to guess at.
Planning application drawings
Existing and proposed plans, elevations, site and block plans drawn to validation standard.
Building regulation drawings
Full Plans sets with sections, construction notes and coordinated structural information.
Who this is for
Our footing in East Cornwall
- Applications for Egloskerry are handled through Cornwall Council, with Liskeard the nearest planning office we deal with regularly.
- Design and build are offered from the same studio, which means the person answering your Egloskerry questions has seen the detail built.
- Drawings, planning and building regulations are all produced in-house, so a architectural design enquiry does not get passed between firms.
Planning rules change and every site is different. For the final position on your address, check with Cornwall Council as the local planning authority or the Planning Portal.

Egloskerry is covered from our Launceston run. Being a smaller place, the local detail matters more than the headline policy: lane access, neighbour proximity and what the immediate street already looks like.
Local context
Why Egloskerry is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on Egloskerry is consistent: open-countryside policy, access lanes, drainage and agricultural building history all need to be addressed before drawings go too far. For architectural design specifically, Cornwall Council's Local Plan applies tighter tests to isolated rural dwellings here, so design rationale and policy fit need to be set out clearly from the outset. That's why we treat every Egloskerry project as a PL15-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The scattered modern homes that dominate Egloskerry (and continue out toward North Petherwin) set the tone for any architectural design scheme here.
Planning note
Whether your project is permitted development, a householder application or full planning, the route through Cornwall Council shapes the drawings we prepare from day one.
What we focus on
Architectural Design considerations specific to Egloskerry.
01
Listed buildings and curtilage structures need a separate Listed Building Consent application, drawn at a level of detail beyond standard planning.
02
Pre-application advice often saves months on contentious sites; we factor it into the programme where it adds value.
03
Design and Access Statements are increasingly scrutinised — generic templates rarely cut it on sensitive Cornish sites.
04
Highways, drainage and ecology consultees can quietly determine an outcome long before the planning officer does.

Our process
How a Egloskerry architectural design project runs.
Step 1
Brief and site visit
We meet on site, walk the plot and listen to how you want to live in the finished space.
Step 2
Feasibility and sketch options
Two or three design directions tested against budget, planning policy and site constraints.
Step 3
Concept refinement
We develop the chosen direction into a coordinated set of plans, elevations and sections.
Step 4
Planning submission
We submit the application, monitor it through validation and respond to any officer queries.
Step 5
Decision and next stage
On approval we move into building regulations and tender drawings.
Most architectural-only commissions run from a few weeks for small householder applications to several months for new builds and listed work.
FAQs
Egloskerry Architectural Design — local questions answered.
- Can you handle a Certificate of Lawfulness instead?
- Yes — for permitted development work it's worth the small extra step. You get a formal council certificate confirming your build is lawful, which protects you on resale and is often required by mortgage lenders. In Egloskerry specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- How long does a planning application take in Cornwall?
- Householder applications are decided in eight weeks from validation in most cases; full planning runs to thirteen weeks. Validation itself can take one to three weeks at Cornwall Council depending on workload, so plan for around three to four months from drawing start to decision.
- Do you produce building regulations drawings as well?
- Yes. Once planning is approved we prepare the full building regs package — sections, construction details, structural coordination and specification — drawn at 1:50 and 1:10 so the builder and building control have everything they need.
- Will you visit the site before designing?
- Always. Cornish sites have wind, light, slope and access quirks that don't show up on a Google Street View. A site visit is built into every fee proposal.
- We live in the house. Can a architectural design in Egloskerry be done while we stay put?
- Usually yes for single-storey and rear work, with a temporary kitchen or bathroom arrangement agreed before the start. Whole-house remodels and roof work in Egloskerry are often easier if you move out for a few weeks. We set that expectation at feasibility stage rather than halfway through.
- Do I need planning permission or is it permitted development?
- It depends on the property, the size and position of the works, and whether you are in a Conservation Area, AONB or Article 4 area. We'll review your address against the General Permitted Development Order at first consultation and tell you straight.
