Residential architects across Middlesbrough, Teesside and the North East

From our Nunthorpe studio, we help homeowners and residential clients make informed decisions about extensions, remodelling, new homes, planning applications and technical design.

Every place and property has a different planning history, physical context and approval route. These guides explain how our service applies locally without making assumptions about individual sites.

Local planning context

The correct authority depends on the site

The North East is served by several planning authorities. Teesside crosses borough boundaries, Nunthorpe spans Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland, and parts of North Yorkshire fall within national park planning areas.

We confirm the postcode and site boundary before reviewing policy, planning history or validation requirements. Depending on the property and its precise location, additional evidence may be needed; no page on this site promises approval.
