Meet your Designer

Peter Luke draws on a long career working internationally and locally in the fields of architecture and high-end interiors to offer you specialist residential architectural services.

Designing the perfect living environment requires sensitivity to individual taste and a strong understanding of ergonomics and practicality. He has an established record for designing houses and apartments that have gone on to achieve record resale prices owing to their high level of appeal.

Peter and his team are meticulous when it comes to detail where every space becomes functional, nothing is wasted, storage is enhanced, spaces open out.

An initial consultation is offered free of charge to discuss the potential for each client’s project, followed by a written proposal and estimate of costs.

Each process from initial briefing, concept drawings, planning applications, party wall agreements, structural engineers, selection of builders and site supervision is explained and costed to provide a clear understanding of what is involved.

We are extension specialists

At Plans & Planning London we pride ourselves in being able to offer bespoke design solutions for a wide range of home conversion and extension projects.

Whether you’re thinking of doing a simple loft conversion or ground floor extension, or even an entire home renovation project, we can assist you with evolving a design that suits your specific lifestyle and needs.

Our architectural design team has years of experience in a wide range of project types, including renovations, extensions, interior design, and marine design for high-end yachts.

With a design that’s optimised to suit you, we can then guide you through the planning application procedure with your local planning authority.

We’ll submit the required documents and design packages on your behalf and will then monitor the process, including any re-submissions should they be required.

With our ready-to-build packages, we’ll complete all the necessary structrual drawings and calculations so that you can start to get quotes from builders and contractors for the work.

Client Testimonials

See us on Trust Pilot

“Peter, has just helped me secure Planning for a loft conversion on my property in Dornton Road. He was brilliant, his insight and experience is second to none and I really couldn’t have done it without him. 5 Stars!”

Josh C.

Loft Conversion and Roof Terrace, SW12

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Peter restoring our dilapidated Victorian chapel into a first class home, a triumph of contemporary living and sensitive conservation. Throughout Peter’s invaluable advice and professionalism enabled us to realise the project exactly as we had envisaged – we can’t thank him enough – especially his positivity, patience, and “can do” attitude from start to finish.”

Simon & Nick

The Old Chapel, West Ilsley

It was a pleasure working with Peter Luke to set out & agree, the plans to deconvert my 2 flats back into the original house. He accurately interpreted my requirements & offered imaginative solutions, when I got indecisive; or otherwise provided me with scaled drawings, so I could accurately visualise, & hence choose between possibilities. His professionalism is also evident in his drive and workmanlike adherence to a strict schedule, which ensures the whole process of reviews & acceptance, is short & sweet. In conclusion, Peter made applying for planning permission a “walk in the park”,  instead of the unforgiving procedure I had assumed it to be.

Let’s Create Something Together

We always encourage your creative ideas when developing a design solution for your project. We believe that this is the best way to arrive at a design that’s specifically tailored to you and your family’s needs.

With our ready-to-build packages, you can then start getting quotes from builders and contractors to make sure you sign up with a team that you trust to deliver your project on time, in full, and to the best quality.

Why choose Plans & Planning London?
At Plans & Planning London, we strive to provide a more personalised service that sets us apart from other standard design and planning companies. Your home is something that you should always be proud of and that’s why we strongly encourage your ideas at every step of the journey. Together, we’ll evolve a design that suits your specific needs and will take it all the way through the planning process, leaving you in a great position to start negotiating with builders and comparing quotes.
What is planning permission and do I need it?
Planning permission is granted by the local council for any work to be carried out on your home. It’s critically important to get this right to avoid major setbacks either during or after the completion of any work on your home. The council maintain the right to request any work carried out without planning approval to be stopped or reversed should they feel the need to do so.
What is permitted development?
Permitted development is when an extension or addition to your home is permitted without the need to obtain planning permission from your local council, provided a set of strict rules, limits, and conditions are met. Whilst it’s entirely possible that your work can be carried out under the permitted development conditions, we strongly advise our clients to obtain planning permission regardless in order to protect them from any possible legal implications that could see their projects fail – this is done by applying for a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC). Knowing that the local authorities have approved the work is always better than simply assuming that they have. It’s also beneficial to have had the council’s approval for any work when it comes to selling the home in the future.
So, what's the catch?
There isn’t one. Plans & Planning London was set up to help prevent people from unknowingly getting caught up in lengthy contractual commitments with standard loft and build companies where once you’re locked in with a hefty deposit, there’s little room to manoeuvre if you decide to do something different.

There are never any further obligations with Plans & Planning London – if all you need is to complete a design and get planning permission then we’ll be happy to help you with just that. On the other hand, if you need a more robust solution like structural drawings and calculations, or for a larger full home renovation project, we can assist with these too.

How do I get the ball rolling?
First of all, get in touch either by phone, email, or through one of our online contact forms. We’ll then set up an initial free-of-charge discovery meeting at your property where we can talk through your project and your wishlist. This will allow us to get busy with developing a design that’s tailored to your specific needs.
