FAQs

Do industrial buildings always require planning permission?

Yes, most industrial developments fall outside permitted development rules. We’ll assess your site and advise you on the necessary planning routes.

What’s included in your industrial planning consultancy?

We offer a comprehensive solution, including site appraisals, tailored design drawings, liaison with authorities, technical assessments, application submission, and ongoing support throughout the entire process.

How long does industrial planning take?

Most industrial planning applications take 8–12 weeks, depending on their complexity and the council’s workload. We’ll keep you updated at every step and minimise delays with thorough preparation.

What happens if my planning application is denied?

We’ll analyse the feedback, amend the design if necessary, and resubmit on your behalf, or support you through the appeals process. Our knowledge of industrial policy helps reduce refusals from the outset.

Can you help with retrospective planning for industrial sites?

Yes, if construction has already begun or been completed without approval, we can assist with retrospective applications. While success isn’t guaranteed, we’ll give you the best possible chance.

Are your designs tailored to industrial requirements?

Absolutely. We design for your operational needs, while meeting health & safety, access, environmental and planning standards expected by local authorities.

Can I submit the application myself?

You can, but industrial planning involves many technical elements. Partnering with Timmins Engineering means fewer mistakes, quicker approval, and a smoother process.

Is there a cost for your consultancy?

We offer a free initial consultation. Following that, we provide a clear quote that covers all design work, application handling, and supporting documentation, with no hidden costs.
